Grantecan
Digital Twin at Gran Telescopio Canarias
For the Gran Telescopio Canarias on the Canary Islands, we developed a digital twin of the world's largest optical and infrared telescope. Our role was to create a real time visualization system that monitors the complex movements and mechanical state of the telescope. By connecting the digital model directly to the live data from the observatory, we were able to visualize its positioning, mirror status, and internal hardware in a way that is easy to understand. This system serves as a functional tool for the team at the observatory, allowing them to oversee operations through an intuitive interface. Our focus was on creating a stable and accurate representation of the physical machine to support the long term work of the astronomical team.
