Congrats👏😉 We're excited to see how CureVac will apply these skills in their upcoming #simulation models, and we’re here to support them every step of the way. Thank you for visiting, and we look forward to our continued collaboration! 🤝

Say hello to ISG-virtuos v3.6! 🚀 🙌 This release focuses on making your life easier with improved modeling workflows, enhanced programming and automation options, and new ready-made simulation blocks and control connections. ⚡ Enhanced modeling workflows with a new "Pie Menu" for quicker navigation, a favorites tab for a quick access to your most-used models and the merging of different functions into one overview for streamlined #modeling and simulation. ⚡ Expanded programming and #automation options with JavaScript and C#, providing more control over your simulation processes and huge time savings. ⚡ Optimized #simulation performance through prebuilt model blocks, co-simulation improvements, and enhanced connection options for faster, more accurate results. Curious about these updates? Join our webinar for a detailed walkthrough, to see these features in action and learn how to apply them to your projects! Register now ↩ https://lnkd.in/eY4rBpxN

When Virtual Reality Meets Real-World Machinery 🚀 During our recent visit to F. Zimmermann GmbH, we had the opportunity to let them experience their portal milling machines in a completely different way. Using ISG-virtuos, we created a #VR experience that allows you to see their machines and complex processes from every angle and up close - even during operation or in this case while the #simulation is running. 🦾 F. Zimmermann was truly amazed by this new dimension of machine interaction and now we’re bringing it to you. Don’t miss the chance to experience this at the AMB - Internationale Ausstellung für Metallbearbeitung - Visit us at F. Zimmermann’s booth in hall 9, booth 9C21. We can't wait to see you there! 👋

Why a Digital Twin for Marketing Can Become an Engineer's Worst Nightmare 😱 For marketeers, there is a need to impress - highlighting capabilities and showing off the machine or plant visually - down to the tiniest screw - to wow customers.  But those screws, nuts, and bolts leave engineers with a lot of unnecessary CAD data that they first have to hide before they can get to the actual work. They rather need clear structures and must be able to see if the mechanic is present and the components are in the right place. So how to make both parties happy? 🤔 Well, the key is to have a #simulation software that allows you to easily switch modes depending on the different needs. How does it work? 💡 In ISG-virtuos you have the option to choose between different view modes for the different phases of the digital twin or use cases. This means that engineers have the possibility to easily show or hide e.g. #robot axis points or restrict the entire view to only physics blocks. When debugging, for example, it is also quite practical to be able to activate both view modes. Another option is to filter out unnecessary CAD data for the simulation in order to boost performance even further. This way, you ensure that your #digitaltwin is always up to the task! 🚀 🦾

MiL, SiL or HiL? That's the question here! 🤔💡 Choosing the right simulation method is crucial for modern engineering projects like #virtualcommissioning. Whether it's Model-in-the-Loop (MiL), Software-in-the-Loop (SiL), or Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL), each #simulation offers unique advantages in testing and development. 🦾 With our simulation software, ISG-virtuos, you have the flexibility to perform all these types of simulations seamlessly. This empowers you to optimize your processes, reduce costs, and ensure your systems perform flawlessly. 🚀

Research Spotlight: Reducing Downtime with Intelligent AI-Troubleshooting 🚀⏱ In highly automated #production systems, faults can lead to a flood of status messages, leaving operators scrambling to pinpoint the root cause. The result? Significant downtime and increased costs. But what if there was a smarter way to handle this? Enter KausaLAssist—an AI-powered solution designed to minimize downtime and streamline troubleshooting. By developing a causal graph that shows cause-and-effect relationships, KausaLAssist combines domain-specific knowledge with #AI insights, helping operators make quick, informed decisions or even automate error management entirely. Our role? 💡 We're providing realistic digital twins as a HiL #simulation for virtual commissioning and real-time error management validation. These digital twins not only train the AI but also run alongside real operations to test and optimize troubleshooting processes. How KausaLAssist integrates with existing systems? 🧩 KausaLAssist can easily be integrated within control systems via the OPC UA Alarms and Conditions interface and is being tested by our research partners in various scnarios in various industrial environments, including highly automated production lines, machines, and autonomous #robot cells. This comprehensive testing ensures the system is robust and adaptable across different use cases. Project Partner 🤝 Schuster Maschinenbau GmbH | KAMAX Tools & Equipment GmbH & Co.

Research Spotlight: Reducing Downtime with Intelligent AI-Troubleshooting 💪 ⏱ In highly automated production systems, troubleshooting can be a daunting task. When faults occur, numerous status messages flood the control level, leaving operating personnel to sift through data to find the root cause. This results in significant downtime and high costs. 💲 But what if there was a smarter way to handle this? Introducing the research project KausaLAssist - it aims to develop a AI-powered assistance system designed to minimize downtime and streamline troubleshooting in complex #production environments.  By developing a causal graph that transparently displays cause-and-effect relationships, KausaLAssist combines domain-specific knowledge with #AI insights to help operating personnel make quick, informed decisions and or even automate the error management altogether. Our role? 💡 We provide realistic digital twins as HiL simulations for #virtualcommissioning and real-time error management validation. These digital twins not only serve as a learning environment to train the AI but also run in parallel with real operations carried out by our research partners in the field to evaluate error management in test scenarios.
