About
We build twins people can question
Octopus Twin is the digital-twin business line of Octopus. It grew out of an open research lab where we built one twin after another — and learned what separates a convincing 3D model from a system you can trust with a decision.
From experiments to a practice
It started with a universe explorer and a human-body atlas: faithful models built from public scientific data. Then came twins that run: an energy campus with an exact energy balance, a tomato plant whose future can be recomputed from any day, a pipeline that tells a leak from a drifting sensor, an office tower that measures its own savings against a baseline, a 12,000-position warehouse, a restaurant group that knows what a kilogram of rice earned — and, most recently, an additive-manufacturing line, a 277-key hotel and a beach resort.
Each one was built to the same standard: data sources on screen, deterministic simulation, unit tests and headless-browser acceptance checks, and limitations stated plainly. Octopus Twin turns that standard into a service for organisations that operate physical systems.
What we are not
We are not a platform licence looking for a use case. We start from the decision you need to make and build the smallest twin that can support it — then grow it with you.

Principles
How every twin is built
Provenance first
Measured, not claimed
Honest about uncertainty
Deterministic and tested
Browser-first
Your cloud, your data
Stack
Open web technology, deployed as code
TypeScript simulation engines independent of the UI; React and three.js for 3D; Claude on Amazon Bedrock for copilots; S3, CloudFront and Lambda via CloudFormation — in our account or yours.
Have a system you want to see, question or rehearse?
Tell us about the site, the process and the decision. We will come back with what a twin could answer, which data it needs, and how fast a prototype can be in front of your team.
