Copernicos

Copernicos focuses on the functioning of physical capital goods during their life cycle in the dynamic context in which they operate. Changing circumstances can have a major impact on the entire system. To get a better grip Copernicos developed Asset Dynamics: a modeling and simulation environment for scenario analyses to analyze the future performance of complex physical systems under changing conditions.

Asset Dynamics provides insight into future performance of physical assets. Including functional, safety, environmental and financial performance.

Asset Dynamics is in use by the Royal Netherlands Navy for its current fleet and for its fleet renewal program. It contributes to the improvement of the ship’s material readiness and technical availability to enhance its fleetpresence at sea.

The power of Asset Dynamics is to evaluate asset design options, asset use variants and asset maintenance strategies: quickly and reliably. To make future proof decisions for the asset’s life cycle.

Asset Dynamics is the ideal tool for scenario analysis in life cycle management. It visualizes possible futures, including bandwidths and margins of uncertainty. Asset Dynamics makes clear what important factors are that determine the performance of assets. Asset Dynamics calculates the effectiveness of measures in an integral manner i.e. taking into account the asset’s condition, the asset’s use and the asset’s maintenance at the same time.
