Third party HIL testing of control system software for the offshore industry

Modern ships and rigs have advanced computer systems for dynamic positioning, power generation and distribution, and drilling operations. Software errors in these systems lead to delays and non-productive time, and compromise safety. Marine Cybernetics performs third party testing and verification of control system software to detect and eliminate such errors and weaknesses using Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) testing technology.

Safe software – safe operations

Reducing risk for incidents and accidents
Reducing risk for off-hire and non-productive time
Securing safe and reliable operations
Securing flawless startups

Marine Cybernetics has introduced HIL testing to the offshore and maritime industries in cooperation with major industry partners. Our unique CyberSea Technology can be adjusted to test systems from any control system producer.

Benefits of HIL testing

HIL testing enables thorough and efficient testing of control system software without risk to man, vessel, or equipment. This includes testing of safety critical software barriers that otherwise cannot be tested before they are needed. HIL testing is performed at a time and place that fits in with the vessel construction or operation, preferably at a lab facility.
