Gemello digitale e messa in servizio virtuale

Uso standardizzato e universale del gemello digitale nella costruzione di macchine e impianti

Scoprite il potenziale del gemello digitale! Nel contesto dell'industria 4.0, questo concetto gioca un ruolo chiave, in quanto è destinato a raggruppare tutti i modelli informativi rilevanti per i componenti di automazione e le catene funzionali, per renderli disponibili sotto forma di rappresentazione digitale. Ciò comprende, ad esempio, la documentazione, i modelli di geometria e simulazione, che devono essere disponibili e utilizzabili durante l'intero ciclo di vita: dal processo di progettazione alla messa in funzione virtuale (VIBN) e alle fasi operative fino al riciclaggio. Immergetevi nel mondo del gemello digitale e portate la vostra produzione ad un livello superiore, con il nostro supporto.

The asset administration shell

The asset administration shell is a concept that practically applies digital twins for Industry 4.0 and establishes interoperability between concepts from different providers. It enables the use of different communication channels and applications and serves as a link between objects of the Internet of Things and the networked, digital and distributed world.

The asset administration shell consists of a series of sub-models in which all the information and functionalities of a particular asset are described. These sub-models can contain key features, characteristics, properties, status, parameters, measurement data and capabilities and provide standardised access, regardless of the manufacturer, across all lifecycle phases.

Simulation and virtual commissioning

An important application of simulation is virtual commissioning. A digital model makes it much easier for the machine designer to test how the physical drives move in real life and how signals from the displacement encoder or end-position sensors are processed. Virtual commissioning enables processes to be run in parallel during the design phase of a machine or system, it ensures higher quality in the development of the control program and it shortens the actual time needed for commissioning on the shop floor.

We are actively supporting the development of the "simulation model" sub-model for asset administration shells and use the cross-manufacturer FMI/FMU (Functional Mock-up Interface/Functional Mock-up Unit) standard format to map behaviour. This open standard is becoming increasingly important and is now also supported by well-known tool manufacturers. The advantages are that models can be easily exchanged and integrated into the products of any manufacturer.
