Reflections on the ASE Congress 2019 1024 1024 digifai

Three days of pure innovative automation and software! The first Automation Software Engineering Congress (ASE Congress) took place in Sindelfingen from September 16 to 18, 2019. With good reason! After all, the importance and quality of software development in automation and in mechanical and systems engineering is constantly increasing.

With the aim of establishing mature development processes and methods to ensure short development times and long-term competitiveness, the congress brought together software experts from industry, research and education with automation specialists – networking at its best!

Providing application-related expert knowledge in the field of software development in mechanical engineering? – exactly our main discipline 😉

digifai introduced the simulation software twin, a digital twin for simulation, virtual commissioning on a digital twin as well as development and testing of control systems!

In the well attended kick-off seminar „Virtual Commissioning on a Digital Twin“, Dominik Schuster explained how a production system that fills the entire factory can fit on a single desk and how the quality of control software can be increased without significant additional effort. The workshop participants were able to obtain comprehensive information in theory and practice about realistically testing control software on the digital twin.

Lecture “How Machine Simulation in 3D Revolutionizes Testing of Control Software”
High quality control software as a basis for customer satisfaction and successful projects! Simulation expert Michael Eberle dedicated his presentation to the topic of machine simulation in 3D and talked about new methods in programming control software, the necessity of holistic testing and demonstrated that the digital twin using multiphysics simulation is more than just a neat 3D animation.

Virtual commissioning with twin allows early testing without real hardware, minimizes risk and increases quality in the development of control software, despite ever-increasing complexity.

Our bin-picking robot cell additionally provided a “hands-on” demonstration of the interplay in the development from digital twins to real machines in operation. Digital is real!
