Marcelo highlighted the results of a pilot project they made with a major automotive OEM in Brazil and how it transitioned to production. ThyssenKrupp<\/A> Brazil started a year ago with with this project. After the successful first project ThyssenKrupp<\/A> extend the project scope and included the PLC<\/A> (programmable logical controller) in the simulation. This is known as Virtual Commissioning<\/A>.
The issues he faces during the engineering process are multiple ones: Is the equipment positioned correctly? Does the cell works as planned? Does the devices operate as designed?![\"ThyssenKrupp\"](\"http:\/\/community.plm.automation.siemens.com\/legacyfs\/online\/wordpress\/images\/2010\/09\/ThyssenKrupp_thumb.jpg\")
<\/A><\/P>
Solving these issues on the shop floor are costly and might lead to line stoppages without notice. ThyssenKrupp<\/A> is using the Tecnomatix Robotics and Automation Planning solution<\/A> to simulate the whole cell including robots and PLCs<\/A> upfront to the start of production. This saves time and costs later on the shop floor.
Today a bigger group of engineers is using the solution on a daily basis. Marcelo gave an outlook that ThyssenKrupp<\/A> will extend the use of the solution in the next year to other projects and customers. And even more, using this technology provided a competitive advantage for ThyssenKrupp.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
