They can create 3D CAD models of machines that simulate the machine\u2019s real behavior, with the simulations controlled by a virtual PLC. Thanks to these tools, mechanical, electrical and automation engineers can work collaboratively to increase first-time quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Machine builders take advantage for digital twins for four main reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Eliminating errors<\/li><li>Sequencing of operations<\/li><li>Training<\/li><li>Validation and documentation<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Virtual factory acceptance tests require the use of a comprehensive digital twin and simulation to identify errors early in the product life cycle, reducing onsite issues and real commissioning time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Download this eBook now to learn more about digital twin focused efforts for mechanical, electrical and automation engineering for the one common goal of quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www-preview.plm.automation.siemens.com\/global\/en\/resource\/machine-builders-benefits-of-digital-twin\/93508\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more now.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manufacturers increasingly require machine builders to furnish them with digital twins for use in virtual factory acceptance tests.
