How does Virtual Commissioning work?
When developing a machine, there are many factors that can threaten the ability to introduce it into production on schedule. Using virtual commissioning it's possible to conduct machine commissioning tests early on in the design and development phase. What-if scenarios can be tested with no risks involved, the engineering error quota gets reduced, and the security validated – before the real machine even exists.
By using Virtual Commissioning, total time required for commissioning an actual machine can be substantially reduced, removing the need for physical prototypes and significantly reducing the time-to-market for production machines.
Kaizen PLM and Underwoods Revolutionising Manufacturing with Digital Twin Technology
In today’s fast-paced manufacturing environment, staying competitive means continuously optimising processes and swiftly identifying errors. Enter Digital Twin technology—a game-changer that’s revolutionizing how we manage and improve production lines, systems, virtual prototyping, and more.
The increasing integration of software makes machines much more flexible, but also much more complex. Advanced Machine Engineering is a digital thread approach that enables companies to develop increasingly complex machines faster while lowering developing costs to decrease production and operational costs.

End-to-End Machine Design Process
The virtual commissioning software from Siemens Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) portfolio can be used throughout the entire lifecycle of a project to reduce your go-to-market time.
Digital twins provide the language for what products and factories can tell us in operation. You can collect and identify the valuable data elements and take advantage of what the products and machines can tell us to provide insight so you can optimise performance and create new business value.
With plant data and product performance analytics, Siemens bring together all the elements necessary to fulfill the vision of the Digital Enterprise and close the loop between the virtual world of development and the real world of operation.
