Empowering Machine Builders with Digital Twin Technology
Manufacturers increasingly require machine builders to furnish them with digital twins for use in virtual factory acceptance tests. By harnessing digital twin technology in their design processes and practices, machine builders not only meet their clients’ demands, they also increase their productivity, and that of their clients, in other important ways.

What is the digital twin?
Four Main Reasons Machine Builders are using Digital Twins
Eliminating errors:
By creating a virtual model of the machine and its components, it allows manufacturers to simulate different processes, identify issues, and optimise the machine's performance.
Sequencing of operations:
A better-quality machine results from improved communications among mechanical, electrical and automation engineering departments.
Training:
With a virtual HMI, virtual PLC and digital twin, operators can be trained before the machine is built.
Validation and documentation:
For the end-user, a virtual factory acceptance test provides validation.
Why digital twins will be the backbone of industry in the future
For industry, digital twins, offering virtual representations of real-world products will be the innovation backbone of the future. Entire systems can be simulated and tested long before a physical prototype has been built. Even operation of existing systems can be further optimized using a Digital Twin. Imagine the extraordinary possibilities merging them with artificial intelligence. Industry experts for digital twins are already using all these possibilities in concrete applications.
