"We are convinced that digitalization will deliver the
added value that both we and and our customers are seeking."
Rudolf Kuhn, Head of Technology & Planning der Autefa-Gruppe
Safe and faster commissioning through digital twin including standards
Training and presentation options on the virtual model for end users and sales
Cost savings, since commissioning times can be significantly reduced
AUTEFA Solutions Germany GmbH is a renowned manufacturer of textile fiber baling presses, solutions for the production of nonwoven textiles, and automation technology, for example for the beverage industry. Autefa Solutions Germany GmbH relies consistently on software from Siemens to shorten product and process development. Future textile fiber bale presses are to reach technical readiness via the digital twin before they are actually commissioned – ideally in half the previous time. Thus, the concept for the world's fastest bale press with automatic packing was digitally verified.
