The symposium "Virtual commissioning in industrial applications" will take place under the technical direction of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Matthias Wenk (Faculty of Mechanical and Environmental Engineering at the Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule Amberg-Weiden (OTH)) at the EnergieCampus in Nuremberg from 22 to 23 October 2020. Virtual commissioning has become an integral part of the development process.
VI is a central component of this and is already firmly established in many companies. The basis of VI is a virtual machine model, the so-called "digital twin". This makes it possible to ensure that requirements are met and to detect, identify and rectify errors in the automation software.
The topic overview
- Virtual commissioning as a building block of a successful digitalization strategy
- Potentials and risks of virtual commissioning
- Overview of market-relevant simulation software
- Field reports from users
