Digital Twin of a machine plant

Today, digital twin concepts can be applied in a variety of different fields including the manufacturing sector. DTs can for example help design assets or expand existing assets. DTs do that by allowing different applications access to the assets’ information. One such application that could be DT-driven is virtual commissioning, which will be covered in this course.

This course serves as a beginner’s guide and first step into virtual commissioning. The usage of software tools like Siemens NX, PLCSIM Advanced, and TIA Portal is described step by step. Previous knowledge in automation technology is a plus, but not a requirement for this course.
