How We Realistically Test Control Software Despite the Crisis 2500 1875 Michael Eberle


Seizing the Crisis as an Opportunity

Coffee, car, office, workshop, customer – a few weeks ago this was still the daily routine of our automation engineers. Until everything changed abruptly. Curfews forced the employees to work from home and supply shortages delayed the assembly and commissioning of our special purpose machines.

Some of our control technicians and robot programmers would have been suddenly unable to work.

“would have been”. We are indeed a little proud that digital twins have long been an integral part of our automation projects. We create digital twins, test our control software on these digital twins and use digital twins of running machines for the ongoing development and maintenance of existing control software. The advantage of these mysterious digital twins in this day and age is quite clear: independence of location – yes, digital twins also come in handy when working from home.

So not much has changed for our control engineers. Of course, before, nobody asked “Daddy, what is that robot doing?” and a quick visit to the workshop would also be helpful from time to time. But we continue to program control software, we test it as before and we still deliver the same quality.

Thanks to virtual commissioning on digital twins!
