Integration Test
Everybody’s wise after the event
We’re wise beforehandTo initiate Plug & Work, we install the entire automation system of your plant in our test field and connect it to a simulation system. First up are preliminary tests, followed by integration tests, which check the fault-free interaction of the modules in the overall plant. In this step we bring the digital twin of your plant to life with the real system and operate it in parallel, with online data streams to increase its value from day one on.
This is how we save precious time - so you save money.

Training
There’s an extra benefit of the simulation for you because our instructors can use it to train your operating personnel on the original control desks, again long before plant erection in your company.

As a result, you start production and achieve efficient operation almost immediately.
