In a recently published article in Plant Engineering Magazine<\/a>, Bill Davis, Solution Director of Industrial Machinery and Heavy Equipment Industry for Siemens Digital Industries Software, <\/em>discusses the need for sophisticated machine design for customized products. The answer is for manufacturers to supplement their machines early, in development, with a validating process that includes virtual commissioning, thus meeting demands rapidly, efficiently and cost-effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simulating the code on a machine’s virtual twin is crucial to producing a considerable surplus in time and resources. Therefore, virtual commissioning validates the software in a managed environment, where machine builders simulate and link the software to the modules specific to the machine.
