Model improvement through real data connection for Virtual commissioning in ramp-up management of scalable production systems

Procedia CIRP, vol. 99, pp. 645–649

Abstract

The electric motor production of the automotive industry faces numerous challenges due to weak sales and uncertain sales forecasts of the electric vehicle. To meet these challenges, scalable production systems have increasingly been set up. The application of virtual commissioning to scalable production systems holds increased potential since the deterministic simulation model can be improved step by step through the inclusion of real data. Therefore, a concrete process model is to be created describing how virtual commissioning can be made even more effective through real data connection. The validation is carried out on an application from material handling technology.
