Save project costs and improve quality with digital twin

April
2022

The virtual commissioning of customer-specific machines has the greatest leverage in terms of improving product quality, costs, and throughput time. Until now, model creation has been costly and uneconomical due to the lack of mechatronic modular building block systems.

Save project costs and improve quality with digital twin

Dr. Manfred Berger of MAG IAS authored an article on digital twins for virtual commissioning and their effects on projects for agile manufacturing systems. In this article, he discussed the use of digital twins analysed in several assessments about: economic applicability, type of simulation time base, modelling languages or tools and methodology. In the following the efforts and benefits of their use for the project execution of Agile Manufacturing Systems, the machines for the systems will be assembled from a modular kit and will be equipped according to the given customer specification.

Practical use of IoT to deliver machine-shop benefit

In factories, cutting tools as used in machine tools, are almost a consumable part. However, their performance and operational life can have a big impact on production costs, so keeping a close eye on their condition is no bad thing. In parallel, after all the hype around IoT and how it will revolutionise manufacturing, there are still relatively few practical use-cases with justifiable return-on-investment.
