Virtual twins in production
Joint approach for the industry of the future
Omron and Dassault Systèmes will be demonstrating in Nuremberg how the OT and IT levels in production environments can be linked in such a way that industrial companies can optimize their processes. At the Dassault Systèmes stand, the advantages of a combined approach to intelligent automation will be presented. With the 3DExperience platform, Dassault Systèmes enables companies to develop, simulate and manage products virtually and across multiple locations. Omron offers hardware from a single source, including sensors, drives and control technology through to robotics integrated into the PLC. The solutions of Omron's i-Automation concept are precisely tailored to the requirements of industrial companies. By combining the expertise of both companies, users can test production processes virtually and thus plan and develop better. Virtual twins support prototyping, for example, or simulate material and resource savings in new cycle concepts.
"Together, Omron and Dassault Systèmes are highlighting the benefits of flexible production through the use of virtual twins. Software solutions that enable production line designs to be tested and adapted in a virtual environment shorten development times, reduce any risks and thus help to save costs," explains Benjamin Papst, Regional Marketing Manager at Omron Europe. At SPS 2023, both companies will be demonstrating how digital technologies can be used to drive autonomous production forward.
