DISA - Casting and Moulding Equipment

Taastrup,

Denmark

Accessibility to the machines is very limited
Wish: A "Machine" which is always available for the R&D
Use digital Twins as sales and marketing tool
Use Virtual Commissioning setup when handling support calls from customers

DISA is a global provider of moulding equipment and foundry technology. Virtual Commissioning was implemented for the new D4 Disamatic Moulding Machine.

Siemens conducted workshops and training for DISA and supported DISA in having a Digital Twin ready for the GIFA fair 2019
With Simit and MCD, the full PLC code could be tested incl. safety.

Used Products:

"It has been important for us to establish a new way to test our software and test our equipment before going to the physics of the machine."

Jan Hemmingshøj - Head of Electrical Automation at DISA

Commissioning at distant customer without any Automation experts on-site, so engineering of the next machine can be initiated much earlier.

A Digital Twin means that the R&D dept. always have a “machine” available and can increase the innovation pace with fast prototyping and validation of new functions/ideas.
