Cloud Workshop

The Woodward Cloud Workshop is a web-based control system simulation platform that enables operators, technicians, and engineers to build real-world experience, before working on live equipment.

As operating environments become more complex and experienced personnel retire, organizations must ensure their teams can perform with confidence from day one. Cloud Workshop addresses this challenge by replicating your actual control system within a realistic virtual environment.

Operators can safely train on real scenarios, interact with system dynamics, and develop the skills needed to manage critical equipment under normal and upset conditions. By accelerating operator readiness and reducing reliance on on-the-job learning, Cloud Workshop helps improve safety, minimize risk, and support more efficient control system adoption and upgrades.

The Changing Operational Landscape

Loss of experienced operators

Senior personnel are retiring at an accelerated rate, taking decades of operational knowledge with them.

Less experienced teams handling complex operations

New operators must manage sophisticated control systems with limited hands-on exposure.

Workforce attrition

Plants are experiencing increased attrition, making it harder to maintain consistent operational expertise.

Training must happen faster and more effectively

Teams must develop operational confidence quickly without compromising safety or performance.

Growing operational risk

Reduced experience levels increase the likelihood of human error, particularly during startups, shutdowns, and alarm conditions.
