Consistent Digital Twin from development through commissioning to operation

Mindelheim,

Siemens Xcelerator

Reduction of development and commissioning times and optimization on the real machine (including NC programs and cycles)
Early and parallel use of the Digital Twin during development and commissioning
Safe commissioning with collision avoidance on the machine
Expansion of the digital offering for training, application engineering, sales and aftersales

SINUMERIK ONE as a digital-native CNC forms the basis of the Digital Twin and enables an identical core for the virtual and real machine
Creation of the virtual machine model with Run MyVirtual Machine to test designs and process sequences in advance, thereby accelerating commissioning
Simulation and optimization of real NC programs with Run MyVirtual Machine to eliminate errors, scrap and rework before the start of production
Collision checking in the simulation with Run MyVirtual Machine as well as real-time collision protection with Protect MyMachine during the running process
Training and instruction on the virtual machine with Run MyVirtual Machine, without blocking real machine time and without human/machine risk
Consistent use of the Digital Twin via Run MyVirtual Machine and Protect MyMachine in GROB's value chain — from development to aftersales

With the Digital Twin, we can use an exact clone of the machine as a simulation, ensuring that the process on the real machine is the same as the one at our workstation or in the office.

Tobias Bräckle, Application Engineering GROB-WERKE GmbH & Co. KG

Shorter development and commissioning times, fewer iteration loops and faster time-to-market for new machines
Highest validation reliability and fewer physical prototypes, test equipment and binding of shopfloor space through complete virtual verification
Error-free programs from the first chip, less scrap, less rework and stable, safe processes from day 1
Maximum process reliability, protection of tools, machine and workpiece as well as reduced downtime
Rapidly qualified personnel, no blocking of real machines, lower training and service costs
Creating a continuous digital process chain from development to aftersales in order to provide end customers with stable, mature and process-reliable machines
