How the Digital Twin is Revolutionizing Production at Siemens

Digital Twins: In its Electronics Factory in Erlangen, Siemens leverages this advanced technology to enhance flexibility and speed in manufacturing. Through the use of the Digital Twin and modern manufacturing simulations, the factory can respond to daily changing product demands without losing efficiency. Virtual testing of new production lines allows for quicker adjustments and optimizations.

A highlight is the optimization of material flow through the use of around thirty automated guided vehicles (AGVs), which travel the equivalent of five times around the Earth each year. Simulations have identified bottlenecks and significantly improved transport efficiency. Energy consumption has also been drastically reduced thanks to digital optimizations. For example, the energy consumption of the ventilation system was impressively cut by 70%.

These digital solutions enable Siemens to drive sustainable innovations and minimize environmental impact. Dive deeper to learn how the Digital Twin is applied in practice and the specific improvements already achieved.
