In recent years, where diversification, complexity, and scale have become prominent in system development, our company has pioneered the advanced engineering method known as "Model-Based Development (MBD)" ahead of the industry and has put it into practical use. By appropriately utilizing MBD, it becomes possible to visualize specifications and behaviors through simulation, making it an extremely useful development method for accurately translating the customer's envisioned image of "what to create" into "how to create it" without discrepancies. Additionally, to address increasingly complex systems, we have also introduced a dual V-model development approach based on "Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE)" that assumes a system of systems. MBSE allows for the visualization of the entire system engineering process by explicitly representing the decomposition model of the target system using the dual V-model. Our company is capable of various model-based developments, from the construction of plant models to the development of control models, enabling us to provide one-stop solutions from building plant models that accurately replicate the behavior of the controlled objects to the controllers that perform the control.
