abstract = {{This presentation reports on the status of beamline digital twins at BESSY II. To provide a comprehensive beamline simulation experience we have leveraged BESSY II’s x-ray tracing program, RAY-UI, widely used for beamline design and commissioning and best adapted to the requirements of our soft X-ray source BESSY II. We created a Python API, RayPyNG, capable to convert our library of beamline configuration files produced by RAY-UI into Python objects. This allows to embed beamline simulation into Bluesky, our experimental controls software ecosystem. All optical elements are mapped directly into the Bluesky device abstraction (Ophyd). Thus beamline operators can run simulations and operate real systems by a common interface, allowing to directly compare theory predictions with real-time results. We will discuss the relevance of this digital twin for process tuning in terms of enhanced beamline performance and streamlined operations. We will shortly discuss alternatives to RAY-UI like other software packages and ML/AI surrogate models.}},
