At IACS Engineering, we harness the power of state-of-the-art tools and technologies to develop sophisticated digital twins of your production line, ensuring seamless integration with PLC and SCADA systems. Our process involves a detailed and methodical approach that combines industry-leading software, customized development techniques, and deep engineering expertise.
Our Process:
Initial Assessment and Planning:
- We begin by conducting a thorough assessment of your existing production line and control systems. This phase helps us understand your specific needs, challenges, and objectives.
Data Collection and Modeling:
- Utilizing advanced sensors and IoT devices, we gather precise data from your physical assets. This data forms the foundation of the digital twin, ensuring accuracy and relevance.
Digital Twin Development:
- Leveraging powerful software platforms such as Siemens NX, PTC ThingWorx, and ANSYS, we create a highly detailed and dynamic digital replica of your production line. Our digital twins (replicating pumps, motors, crushers, mixers, conveyors, heat exchangers, inlet separators, injectors, compressors, etc) are designed for high fidelity and real-time synchronization with physical processes.
Integration with PLC and SCADA:
- The core of our expertise lies in integrating the digital twin with existing PLC and SCADA systems. By using custom-developed middleware, API interfaces, and protocols such as OPC UA (Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture), we ensure seamless communication between the digital twin and control systems. This integration allows for sophisticated process simulation, monitoring, and control.
Simulation and Optimization:
- With the digital twin in place, we conduct comprehensive simulations to test and optimize production processes. This phase can reveal inefficiencies, predict potential failures, and identify opportunities for improvement.
Continuous Improvement and Support:
- Post-deployment, we provide ongoing support and updates to ensure the digital twin evolves with your production line. Our commitment to continuous improvement means your operations benefit from the latest advancements in digital twin technology.
