Digital twin
A digital twin is an exact replica of a production in the virtual world. Born from the dynamic data available as part of industry 4.0, the digital twin enables a space where production factors can be fully tested and optimised in an environment with no risk.
Simsol champion the use of Plant Simulation software when working with a digital twin, covering both the optimal planning and performance of production. Plant Simulation gives manufacturers a strategic overview of an entire production; enabling granular investigation into specific lines, cells, machines and other elements, whilst simulatneously quantifying the impact on other aspects of the operation.
A digital twin is a versatile tool which can be used for virtual commissioning, validating CapEx decisions, scoping and planning in machinery downtime, optimise energy usage, get the warehouse working harder and more.
