BİTES digital twin and the Xper software family
Quick answer: A digital twin is a virtual model of a product, process or service fed by real-time sensor data. BİTES, a subsidiary of Turkish defense electronics manufacturer ASELSAN, is developing a platform that offers the digital twin as a service under its “Technology and Business Solutions” category; the same category contains Xper family software such as the company’s XperLMS learning management system and its BizBize video conferencing application, known internationally as XperMeet. This file examines the BİTES software portfolio, which extends beyond defense.
What is a digital twin, and how does it differ from a simulation?
The official BİTES product page separates two concepts that are often confused: a simulation models the behavior of a system on the basis of assumptions, whereas a digital twin is continuously fed by real-time sensor data collected from the physical environment. The model therefore reflects the current state of the asset in the field and can generate forward-looking predictions.
The company lists three objectives for the platform: delivering solutions customized to customer requirements, preventing unexpected failures, and providing a cost-effective model.
The BİTES approach: digital twin as a service
According to the official page, BİTES is developing an architecture that allows digital twins to run “as a service.” The components of the approach are as follows:
- A timeline-based model that takes recorded historical data into account
- Forecasting and grading different future scenarios
- Re-evaluating past scenarios under changed conditions
- Predictive capability through digital twin-based simulation and artificial intelligence
The company states that this architecture is intended to remove the need to build separate software infrastructure for each simulation model, and the cost that comes with it. Which platforms or facilities the digital twin has been applied to has not been officially disclosed.
The Xper family: XperLMS and BizBize
The company’s experience in training software has also been carried over into corporate products. XperLMS is its online learning management system, offering live classes, content management and assessment functions. According to a 2020 report by Anadolu Agency, Turkey’s state-run news agency, the product drew on what the agency described as two decades of company experience in training software; that figure covers a longer period than the 2005 founding date announced by the company.
BizBize is the video conferencing application developed by BİTES; it is offered as BizBize domestically and as XperMeet abroad. According to Anadolu Agency, the application uses end-to-end encryption, data is carried over the infrastructure of Turkish operators Turkcell and Türksat, and ASELSAN began using the application for internal meetings. The application, which offers video and voice calls, messaging and classroom creation, can be adapted with an interface carrying the logo of the institution using it, as in the case of “BizBize ASELSAN.” In 2020, BizBize carried 700 meetings and 410 hours of calls for participants from 24 countries at the SEDEC event; by September 2021 its cumulative call time had passed one million minutes.

The 2026 catalog of Turkey’s Presidency of Defence Industries (SSB) lists the EGK and YK versions of BizBize along with products named Xper Remote, Xper Passkey, Passwerks, Xper Drive and Xper Share; the company does not share technical detail on these versions and tools in publicly accessible sources.
The defense-side counterpart
The goal of “preventing unexpected failures,” which the company lists among its digital twin objectives, overlaps with the need for predictive maintenance on defense platforms: a model updated with sensor data makes it possible to track component life and failure probability on the basis of actual use. Experience in digital twins and data-driven modeling also feeds the company’s defense products. Virtual maintenance and fault diagnosis training systems run fault diagnosis scenarios on three-dimensional models of equipment, while mission simulators use aerodynamic and ballistic modeling. The full portfolio is listed in the BİTES product guide.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a digital twin and a simulation?
A digital twin is continuously updated with real-time sensor data from the physical environment; a simulation works on the basis of assumptions.
Which sectors does BİTES offer the digital twin to?
The company presents the platform as a sector-independent, service-based solution; reference projects have not been officially disclosed.
Are BizBize and XperMeet the same product?
Yes; the application is offered as BizBize domestically and as XperMeet in international markets.
What are the EGK and YK versions of BizBize?
Both versions are listed in the SSB 2026 catalog; what the abbreviations stand for and how the versions differ technically has not been officially disclosed.
Who is XperLMS for?
For institutions that need corporate training management; it offers live classes and content management.
