Digital Twins Within Reach: Making the Business Case for Simulation

Today’s process manufacturers are under pressure to deliver more with less. Market volatility, sustainability demands, evolving regulatory frameworks, and the aging workforce are redefining how facilities operate and grow. At Prosera, we understand these pressures, and we know that digital twins and dynamic simulation can be part of the solution.

But great ideas need great execution, and that starts with building the business case.

A Smarter Way to Justify Your Investment

At Prosera, we’ve partnered with industrial leaders who understand the value of simulation but struggle to get buy-in. That’s why we created the Business Justification Calculator, a free tool to help you estimate the value of digital twins across your facility’s lifecycle.

This isn’t about pushing software. It’s about giving decision-makers a clear, data-backed path to smarter investments.

We help you define ROI in terms that matter:

• Production uptime

• Training impact

• Cost avoidance

• Safety improvements

• Commissioning acceleration

With just a few inputs, you can assess lifecycle value, explore cost benchmarks, and align simulation outcomes to your plant goals.

Planning for Every Stage of the Simulation Lifecycle

Whether you're in early design or operational optimization, the calculator complements a long-term strategy:

Pre-FEED: Scope new projects with high-level cost and value estimates using conceptual inputs
FEED: Refine estimates with greater fidelity to align with detailed engineering goals
Execution: Model your simulation needs to support testing, training, and deployment
Operations: Measure long-term benefits of ongoing simulation maintenance and workforce development

Simulation value isn’t confined to a project phase. It compounds across your lifecycle. The calculator helps you see that clearly.

Why Prosera? Because Clarity Drives Confidence

Many industrial leaders hesitate to start their simulation journey because of uncertainty. Uncertainty around costs, outcomes, and long-term value. We built the calculator to address that directly.

It’s grounded in our real-world project experience across industries like oil and gas, chemicals, and power, and reflects our commitment to transparency, scalability, and long-term support.

At Prosera, we help you:

• Avoid costly overengineering by matching model fidelity to your goals

• Reduce risk by showing where simulation saves time and money

• Support informed decision-making with dynamic, adjustable estimates

This isn’t just a tool. It’s a conversation starter. And it’s available to you today.

Simulation for a Changing Workforce

Simulation is no longer a nice-to-have. It’s essential infrastructure. As experienced talent retires and turnover increases, your ability to onboard quickly, train effectively, and preserve knowledge will determine your resilience.

The calculator helps you quantify these realities:

• What is the cost of a 3-month onboarding delay?

• How much is unplanned downtime really costing you?

• What’s the ROI on scenario-based operator training?

These are the numbers your leadership team needs to see. And now, you have a tool to show them.

Your Digital Twin Strategy Starts Here

At Prosera, we’re committed to helping organizations unlock the full value of simulation. That starts with a clear, defensible business case, and the calculator helps you build it.

Whether you’re exploring digital twins for the first time or refining a mature system, this is your opportunity to lead with clarity.

The Prosera Perspective

We believe digital twins are no longer aspirational. They’re accessible, practical, and necessary. Our Business Justification Calculator is designed to help you take the first step with confidence, backed by real numbers and aligned with your unique goals.

Simulation isn’t just about technology. It’s about transforming the way your people, processes, and systems work together. That transformation starts with a conversation, and we’re ready when you are.
