Oil & gas and petrochemical
Unit topologies, safety-adjacent control, and vendor controllers that must stay real in the test. Combined scenarios stay on the range.
Industries
Built for critical operations.
Wherever a process cannot stop for a test, the test has to move to a range. Simetra is used by OT security and engineering teams who need a replica — and, when needed, a real device — without exposing the live unit.
Where hybrid helps
Different plants. The same constraint.
Availability, integrity, and safety sit above convenience. A hybrid range lets you model the site and still prove the boxes you will actually install.
Power generation
Generation and auxiliary control systems where a write to the wrong point is not an acceptable lab method on the live unit.
Water and wastewater
Distributed pumping, treatment, and telemetry. Hybrid connection is useful when a real RTU or radio hop is the uncertain part.
Manufacturing and automation
Cells, lines, and PLC families that differ by vendor. Keep the line virtual; attach the controller that has to be proven.
Also used by
Critical infrastructure
Industrial automation vendors
OT security teams
Engineering and commissioning
If your constraint is “we cannot do that on the live system,” the range is the place to do it.
