What is virtual commissioning?

The objective of virtual commissioning is to shorten lead times associated with physical commissioning and thereby save time and money. In the Smart Factories project, students worked under the supervision of companies to design and construct a demonstrator of a smart factory. From January to June 2017, student workers collaborated across the fields of mechanical construction, PLC programming, electrical construction and robot programming to devise a virtual model of the factory. This took place with the support of industrial experts from ABB, ÅF, Elektroautomatik and IFM. To see our work on the virtual commissioning project, watch the film below.
