Engineering and operations

See your factory in real time. Solve problems before they happen.
Plant teams often face:

  • Unplanned downtime disrupting production schedules
  • Bottlenecks and inefficient workflows
  • Limited visibility into system-wide effects of changes
  • Manual data collection that slows decision-making
Digital twins give engineers and operators a clear, interactive view of every process—helping you keep production running smoothly and efficiently.
Put real-time insights directly in the hands of those who run the factory.

The Automation Lifecycle

Explore the Eclipse Automation lifecycle

One partner. One process.

Eclipse brings your automation project to life—from strategy to launch and beyond. It all starts with smart planning: mapping your processes, validating ideas, and identifying the right solution.

This foundation fuels a proven end-to-end lifecycle that spans advanced engineer services (AES), pre-automation system development, vertical integration, and post-launch optimization. By aligning goals early and managing everything under one roof, you gain a faster, more confident path forward with reduced risk.

Advanced engineering

Analyze environments, define goals, roadmaps, KPIs, investment and influence internal buy-in.

Automation

Engineer, build, and design systems from controls to robotics, tested in virtual and physical environments.

Post-automation

Analyze systems, service packages, to keep your investment performing.

Vertical integration

From roadmap to design, build, test, commission under one-roof.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What is a digital twin, and how is it different?

A digital twin is a live, data-connected virtual model of a physical asset, process, or facility. Unlike traditional simulations, which are static and scenario-based, digital twins continuously update using real-time operational data, enabling ongoing optimization and prediction.

What business value do digital twins deliver for executives?

Digital twins help leaders reduce operational risk, lower costs, and improve decision-making. They enable predictive maintenance, faster production ramp-ups, higher asset utilization, and improved ROI by turning operational data into actionable insights.

How do digital twins help engineers improve performance?

Engineers can use digital twins to test changes virtually, optimize workflows, validate designs, and understand system behavior without disrupting production. This reduces trial-and-error on the factory floor and accelerates innovation.

Can digital twins reduce unplanned downtime?

Yes. By monitoring asset behavior and identifying early warning signs, digital twins enable predictive maintenance, helping teams address issues before failures occur—significantly reducing downtime and maintenance costs.

How do operations teams use digital twins day to day?

Operations teams use digital twins for real-time visibility, bottleneck analysis, throughput optimization, and resource planning. They can see how changes in one area impact the entire system and make informed adjustments quickly.
