Virtual Panels for Simulator Control Rooms

Give your plant personnel a fast, flexible and easy-to-use simulator interface at a low cost.

Economical

We have saved millions of euros by using virtual panels on a full scope simulator at our own Loviisa NPP.

Simple

With Fortum Virtual Panels, you have no need for dozens or hundreds of expensive mechanical components in your simulator HMI, and reconfiguration of a panel section is deployed in seconds, without the need of manual rearrangement of mosaic tiles.

Easily Configured

Virtual Panels can freely be configured to match any control panels at your plant. They are easily connected to Apros® or other process simulation platforms.

Fortum Virtual Panels are interactive touch screens to simulate your hard-wired Human Machine Interface (HMI). Virtual Panels can be freely configured to match any control panels at your plant. They are easily connected to Apros® or other process simulation platforms.
