5 Critical Approaches to Accelerate Advanced Nuclear Enterprise Success with Digital Transformation

Join us for an ANS Supplier Showcase webinar to discover how Dassault Systèmes' 3DEXPERIENCE platform, powered by virtual twin technology, is redefining nuclear project execution, efficiency, and lifecycle management. A virtual twin is a dynamic digital replica of real-world assets, systems, and processes, integrating virtual modeling with real-time data to ensure full continuity and informed decision-making. In an industry that demands precision and stringent compliance, learn how leading-edge digital solutions can streamline your operations from design to long-term maintenance, all within a single, integrated platform.

Dassault Systèmes experts Don Johnson, industry technical executive senior specialist, and Vince Gattola, industry process consulting senior manager, will guide you through five critical approaches to digital transformation in the nuclear enterprise. Gain insights into why advanced digital models, data integration, and lifecycle continuity are now essential to succeeding in today’s SMR/AMR landscape.

In this session, you’ll explore how to:

• Leverage the Plant Information Referential Virtual Twin: Discover the power of a unified digital twin to support seamless continuity, traceability, and compliance across all project phases.
• Optimize Compliance and Configuration Management: Learn why an integrated digital approach is essential to managing complex compliance requirements and maintaining data integrity throughout the project lifecycle.
• Ensure Life Cycle Continuity from Design to O&M: See how a holistic approach to operations and maintenance, grounded in virtual twin technology, drives operational efficiency and minimizes lifecycle risks.

This webinar will equip you with the knowledge to unlock the full potential of virtual twin technology, transforming how you design, build, and manage nuclear energy projects with a data-driven, streamlined approach.
