"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.
