The digital twin - Exclusive video insights

These short videos will give you a compact overview of what a digital twin is, how it has been implemented
in projects of different application areas and how we proceed when implementing a digital twin.

Operators of plants or equipment benefit from digital twins by an improved availability. The exact knowledge about the asset condition prevents downtime and the loss of production. In addition, digital twins provide a view into the future and how the mode of operation can be optimized e. g. by balancing energy costs, runtime, maintenance demand, asset performance and product quality.

Instead of a pure hardware business, digital twins enable new services like predictive maintenance, recommendations-as-a-service, spare-parts-as-a-service or performance-as-a-service. The result of such additional, operation oriented services is a long term customer relationship and a better feedback about the real usage and the real need for future product capabilities.

Recommendation: An intensive workshop with CADFEM and ITficient

A moderated intensive workshop with in-depth analysis of requirements, goals and prerequisites has proven to be the basis for a successful Digital Twin project. Together we specify:

Stakeholders: Who in the company is affected?
Perspectives: What are the challenges, what are the added values? 
Personas: Who are the future active users?
Prioritization: Which use case is suitable to start with?
Technical analysis: Which models, sensor data, IT infrastructures are available?

The implementation and the learning effect for us were extremely satisfactory, which has a lot to do with the cooperative partnership with ITficient and CADFEM.

The implementation of digital twins is independent of an industry. It is based on data, physics and the customer's product knowledge.

Best-practices

Real-time sensor data, data from the control system or even information about maintenance cycles can be used to associate a physical product with a corresponding numerical simulation model. This digital twin not only allows you to carry out precise condition monitoring during operation but also lets you predict remaining service life.

Condition Monitoring for GE Wind Turbines

GE Wind will demonstrate how virtual sensors for the drive motors of its wind turbine control room help to detect potential failures in advance. This allows the condition to be assessed in real time and remotely without physical inspectors on site.

Watch this video to learn how ANSYS and GE engineers built simulation-based digital twins to monitor the maximum temperature and torque of the turbine’s motor coils to save time and money in the operation of offshore wind turbines.

Added value through digital services

CADFEM supports you developing business models that enable long-term customer loyalty and new services such as "Maintenance as a Service" or "Recommendation as a Service" with Predictive Maintenance.

Condition Monitoring in Battery Packs

Condition Monitoring in Battery Packs

A manufacturer of traction batteries uses virtual sensors to detect the state-of-charge (SoC) and state-of-health (SoH). They become the basis for usage-based services for OEMs, fleet operators and drivers.

Virtual Sensors-as-a-Service of a valve manufacturer

ITficient and CADFEM will present the new service of a valve manufacturer for oil & gas conveyors to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase plant efficiency.

Condition monitoring in process technology

Condition monitoring in process technology

At the Hannover Fair 2019, SAP SE and CADFEM Group will present a digital twin for process engineering to evaluate the failure of critical components (e.g. seals) and to adjust operating profiles.
