Our final and fourth podcast dives deeper into a discussion about closed-loop validation, which is one of the most exciting aspects of helping our customers. 

This process includes a simplification of reality, ensuring that the simulation context is complete. A drawback to this simplification process is missing the correct criteria and real environments where the machine will be working. Therefore, to not miss any assumptions in oversimplifying the design and offering requirements, it is essential to test and validate the real environment’s machines.

So, the closed-loop validation process provides intensive scrutiny of how the machine performs to obtain a real sense of how it is meeting the customer’s needs. This method includes production rates, scrap, noise, vibration and real-time feedback to correlate to the simulation environment.

Subsequently, it confirms that simulation models are accurate and address even potential issues before they come out on the field. Hence, you will evaluate how a machine is performing on an ongoing basis to evolve a machine to the next generation rapidly.
