ARG Digital Twin

Digital TwinA live copy of the whole organisation, from device to decision

ARG Digital Twin is the live digital counterpart of a physical site: every real device has a digital twin carrying its live value, state, history, limits and behaviour — and every process of an organisation runs in one system behind one sign-in.

AI works in this environment too: a project-connected assistant, RAG knowledge retrieval and an ML backend for training, prediction and model evaluation.

AI alongside the digital twin’s data and tools

The project-connected assistant and the independent ARG_AI backend serve complementary roles: one helps users understand the situation and work inside the software; the other provides model training, analysis, prediction and result monitoring.

Explore AI in detail
ML

Learn from data and measure results

Prepare history → train models → predict and detect → evaluate and monitor

LLM + RAG + Tools

Understand the project, retrieve knowledge and act

User intent → relevant knowledge and project tools → analysis or proposed change → user confirmation

ML

Learn patterns and predict

Input
Consumption, sensor and equipment history

A model is trained on equipment data, then analyses future trends or unusual behaviour.

Output
Consumption forecasts, anomaly detection and health indicators
RAG

Retrieve project knowledge

Input
Project documents, catalogs and device templates

Knowledge retrieval finds passages relevant to the question and equipment and supplies them to the assistant.

Output
Answers grounded in documents and the project context
LLM

Explain the findings clearly

Input
User question, project data and tool results

The assistant explains findings, summarises information and uses system tools to investigate the question.

Output
Engineering dialogue, reports and reviewable recommendations
Agent

Work inside the system

Input
User intent and the current page or project context

Tools read equipment state, alarms and history; proposed creation or changes enter the user confirmation workflow.

Output
Multi-step investigation and proposed dashboards or logic

The LLM and RAG assistant: from project knowledge to system design

RAG supplies relevant knowledge, the LLM interprets the request and results, and agent tools move the work forward inside the system.

Understand equipment and project knowledge

The assistant draws on device catalogs, SNMP and Modbus templates, OIDs and uploaded project documents. RAG combines keyword and semantic retrieval to answer in the context of the relevant equipment.

Create structures, dashboards and 3D scenes

A user request can become a proposal for buildings, floors, spaces, devices and points, or for dashboard creation and cloning, 2D elements, scenes and 3D objects. System tools and user confirmation carry out the workflow.

Help design logic and scenarios

The assistant reads and checks existing logic and proposes creating or editing Rules, Limits, Scenarios, Scripts and State Machines. Command-producing logic starts disabled and requires a separate activation confirmation.

Maintain context as the work continues

Conversation history, summaries and user or project memory help continue the work. Equipment aliases, preferences and routines can be retained, pinned or forgotten.

IN THE PROJECT WORKSPACE

From an alarm question to equipment investigation

Ask the assistant to inspect active alarms, offline equipment or a point’s history. The request carries project context and tools read the required information from the system. Proposed changes are presented for user confirmation.

IN THE INDEPENDENT ARG_AI BACKEND

From equipment history to a model you can evaluate

For energy forecasting, historical data trains the model; results are checked against test data and recorded with error metrics. Anomaly detection learns normal behaviour to identify observations that need investigation.

Deploy against each site’s real data

For a refinery, petrochemical plant or other infrastructure, project engineering defines data sources, equipment mapping, history quality, permitted documents and acceptance criteria. The deployment guide describes OT/DMZ integration and local LLM or provider API options. In this industrial architecture, AI informs engineers and operators while process control remains in the existing control system.

Introduction and Use Cases

ARG Digital Twin is a live digital version of a physical infrastructure: every real piece of equipment (chiller, UPS, server rack, pump, transformer, sensor…) has a digital counterpart in the system that carries its real-time values, status, history, allowed limits and behavioral rules. Users see these counterparts on 2D dashboards or 3D scenes, issue commands, receive alerts, and define automation logic without writing code. Every process in an organization — from energy and facilities to security, assets, ticketing and production — becomes digital in a single system with a single sign-on.

Which Environments

  • Smart buildings and office/commercial complexes (HVAC, lighting, elevators, parking, safety)
  • Data centers and server rooms (DCIM: racks, power, cooling, UPS, temperature/humidity)
  • Substations and distribution networks (transmission substations, high-voltage, dispatching)
  • Process and water facilities (treatment plants, pump houses, mechanical rooms, boilers)
  • Fuel stations, warehouses, industrial sites, hotels, greenhouses

Who It Is For

  • Facility and operations managers: overview, alerts, reports and control from one place
  • Control room operators: live dashboard, commands with secure confirmation, ready-made scenarios
  • Automation and network engineers: connecting equipment with 10 protocols, point mapping, rules and state machines
  • Energy and asset managers: meters, tariffs, demand, cost, maintenance
  • Integrators: standard API, WebSocket, equipment catalog, Windows/Linux/Docker deployment

System Workflow

1 · Connect Equipment connects using its own protocol (SNMP, Modbus, OPC UA, MQTT, PLC…)
2 · Model Each point gets a unique identifier and a control variable with a unit, scale and limits
3 · Monitor Real-time values reach the dashboards and history is stored
4 · Alert Crossing limits, loss of connection, or stale data generates an alert and notification
5 · Automate Rules, schedules, scenarios and state machines respond automatically
6 · Control The operator or logic issues a command; the command executes with secure confirmation and an equipment receipt
