Using Digital Twins to Correct Machine Performance Issues in the Field
When creating a new product – say, a new kind of aerial working platform for the construction industry – designers are now used to using CAE and digital models to develop and validate the...
Vibration Control of a Warehousing Cable Robot
A few weeks ago, we covered some top applications of digital twins, including large scale robots, injection molding machines, and more. These applications relate to the dynamic, physics-based digital twins that we focus on...
Cable-Driven Robots and Digital Twins
Whenever you introduce a new kind of system in a machine design, there’s going to be a set of new engineering challenges to consider. A new system could involve the addition of hydraulic actuators,...
Virtual Commissioning Tutorial with B&R Tools
While we finish gathering responses to our virtual commissioning survey, let’s take a deeper look at how virtual commissioning looks with one of our most popular automation vendors – B&R Industrial Automation. Our video...
Getting to Mars with Digital Twins
Earlier this month, NASA celebrated the successful landing of their most complicated rover yet – Perseverance. If you were following along, you might be shocked at how smoothly everything went for landing. It would...
Developing Robot Models with Digital Twins
This week, we’re highlighting a case study from ABB Robotics. They were developing robot models, using digital twin to speed up their development processes. The tool used by ABB for model creation was MapleSim...
Creating a Digital Twin – Step by Step
For most workflows that use virtual commissioning, creating a digital twin is the first step you’ll need to take. This digital twin can take several different forms, so depending on your application, certain digital...
Choosing a Virtual Commissioning Solution – Part 2
Last week, we talked about the fact that there are multiple solutions within the general umbrella terms of digital twins and virtual commissioning. Depending on the nature of your project, and the kind of...
