Reduce time to market with virtual commissioning

There is increasing pressure to improve customer experience and increase profitability. As a result, organizations are embracing digital transformation and disrupting business models with new value propositions. One of these technologies is advanced simulation technologies. For example, Emulate3D dynamic digital twin software can help manufacturers simulate and emulate a production cell, complete production system, or manufacturing line before you even lay the first circuit board. Nicola Iovine, Strategic Business Developer EMEA, Digital Design and SaaS at Rockwell Automation believes three primary drivers for adopting digital twin technology exist. “The first one is about reducing costs, especially the energy cost and performing commissioning and testing virtually is a big benefit,” he says. “The second driver is COVID. During that time, everyone experienced the benefits of working remotely, not accessing the physical equipment. Last but not least is sustainability. There is a substantial material and energy waste during testing, which can be reduced through virtual testing.” With a dynamic digital twin, machine builders can test their machines without waiting for the machine to be built physically. “When designing their machine, they normally start with a mechanical or electrical CAD,” Iovine explains. “By reusing their mechanical CAD, they can add configurations and […]
