Digitaler Zwilling/ Virtuelle Inbetriebnahme

The digital twin is more than just a virtual representation, as it continuously communicates with the physical product.

The digital twin is more than just a visual copy because it communicates with the real product. It continuously adapts to reality, accurately reflecting the actual state of the machine or system.

The virtual twin takes this concept even further by integrating 3D models, processes, and systems into a comprehensive digital environment.

What are the real-world benefits?
Early detection of errors and design issues
Reproduction of critical simulation scenarios for safe and risk-free testing
Process optimization and performance improvement
Reduction of downtime and commissioning risks
Support throughout the entire lifecycle, from planning and engineering to retrofit projects

Virtual commissioning delivers value across the complete lifecycle of a machine or plant.

Virtual commissioning (VIBN) is a simulation-based methodology where the control system is coupled with a simulation model of a component, machine, or production plant. This enables early testing and validation of the production system throughout the development process. By using simulation models, VIBN makes it possible to clearly visualize both the specific aspects of individual engineering disciplines and their interaction within a mechatronic environment.

An interactive training environment for operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting allows users to gain practical experience in a realistic, safe, and location-independent setting. This is where the digital twin truly demonstrates its value: clearly, practically, and professionally.

Together, the digital twin and virtual commissioning enable more efficient, cost-effective, and safer product development while optimizing manufacturing and production processes.
