Nidec Arisa is a Spanish original equipment manufacturer that specializes in making presses and transfer systems for the automotive industry – and which relies on Siemens innovations to develop their product offerings.
Objectives:
Market requires a shorter machine development process and reduced start-up times.
In order to raise efficiency and reduce downtime, market is demanding standardized and optimized servo press software.
The lack on skilled workers, necessary to operate sophisticated machines, requires to design machines, intuitive and thus easy to operate.

The digital twin opens the door to standardization and digitalization: all ARISA programs based on Siemens SIMOTION were migrated to SIMATIC S7-1500T, the new generation of programmable logic controllers for motion control applications. With the help of a digital twin, the teams from Arisa and Siemens Spain began migrating the transfer system.
