Model, evaluate and test manufacturing lines with this free Siemens software trial
This is your chance to get instant access to Plant Simulation software from Siemens Digital Industries. The software can be used to model and simulte a production line for cost efficiencies, evaluating the impact of process, equipment and labour changes. You’ll also see how to use virtual PLC and HMI testing for logic and operator interfaces in machinery through virtual commissioning (VC).
Simsol Factory Simulations Manager, Mike Smith, said ‘Virtual commissioning (VC) is a key enabling technology for the ‘next normal’ of manufacturing in 2020 – Plant Simulation can be used to ensure PLC code testing can be completed with maximum efficiency, reducing testing on the shop floor as multiple team members can work simultaneously on machinery code. This can be done remotely from different locations to avoid unnecessary disruption to production and also to limit the time team members work in the same space for social distancing.’
