  • Simulate complexity of the machine with 16 main axes and early detection of collisions
  • HMI users previously had to be trained on real machines during operation
  • Logic errors in the PLC program must be detected early
  • Digital twin based on NX Mechatronic Concept Designer - Simulation with Software-in-the-Loop solution by SIMIT and PLCSim:
  • Kinematics model with NX Mechatronic Concept Designer
  • Behavior model and control simulation with SIMIT and PLCSim incl. Safety
  • Combination of simulation software with real hardware (HMI)

Used Products:
  • S7-PLCSIM Advanced
  • STEP 7 Options (TIA Portal)
  • SIMIT Simulation
"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.
