In the production facilities of tomorrow, all of the components and systems will be connected. Digital twins – i.e., digital representations of components or systems – play a key role in this context, from design to initial setup and operation. They help to optimize systems and simplify life cycle management. We conduct research in this field and are committed to implementing manufacturer-agnostic solutions. In the future, we want to offer our customers a digital twin factory where they can quickly and easily integrate digital twins of their custom-configured Festo products into their engineering environment.
