Schneider Electric Launches Scalable EcoStruxure Digital Twin Software for Machine Experts in China

Today, Schneider Electric, a global expert in digital transformation in the field of energy management and automation, officially launched EcoStruxureTM Machine Expert Twin in the Chinese market. As a scalable simulation, analog, and digital twin software covering the entire lifecycle of the equipment, the software is able to meet the following requirements EcoStruxureTM Machine Expert Twin is a scalable simulation, modeling and digital twin software covering the entire equipment lifecycle, which can meet a wide range of scenarios in terms of scale and complexity, efficiently empowering new machine designs, enabling more flexible and agile production, and improving machine performance.

As the digital transformation process advances and the external environment continues to change, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and end users need to improve the form of machine design, manufacturing and management to adapt to the needs of a diverse market, EcoStruxure Machine Expert Digital Twin creates an intuitive environment with drag-and-drop mechatronic components, virtual reality/augmented reality (VR/AR) interfaces and application libraries that will effectively enhance the machine's overall performance. The intuitive environment created by the Machine Expert Digital Twin includes drag-and-drop electromechanical components, virtual reality/augmented reality (VR/AR) interfaces, and application libraries, which will effectively enhance the digital management of the entire machine lifecycle, bringing a series of benefits in terms of cost savings and efficiency gains at all stages:

● Marketing, conceptual design and prototyping phase: build a credible digital twin model based on the software, improve and validate the design concept through the digital platform, and save 10-20% of quality costs and 20-50% of time-to-market while reducing risks.

●Machine manufacturing and equipment commissioning phase: save 60% of commissioning time through virtual commissioning and improve the effectiveness of system integration testing, thus improving software quality and production capacity; ●Operation phase: build a credible digital twin model based on EcoTwin.

●Operation phase: Based on the services of EcoStruxure Machine Expert Digital Twin, factories can conduct operator training, improve and test software upgrades, thus reducing machine downtime, and thus saving costs and obtaining new sources of revenue during the life cycle of the machine.

As a scalable solution, the EcoStruxure Machine Expert Digital Twin features an open programming environment with a large number of advanced modules that enable seamless integration with EcoStruxure Machine Expert and EcoStruxure Machine Consultant, and adapt to customers' data sources, workflows, and corresponding processes. The EcoStruxure Machine Expert digital twin software covers digital twin requirements from a single device to a complete production line, and can be applied to a variety of system sizes and complexity scenarios, allowing engineers to choose the appropriate construction method according to the relevant scenario, thus improving efficiency and meeting market demands.

In addition, the combination of EcoStruxure machine expert digital twin software and the plug-and-play EcoStruxure open automation platform can build system-level closed-loop simulation debugging, visualize the operation of the entire system, and realize the information interaction between all controllers, and between controllers and controlled objects. Through system simulation, users can verify control algorithms and scheduling strategies in advance, so that program debugging is no longer dependent on hardware, thus reducing the error rate in the application, significantly shortening the on-site debugging time while further reducing engineering costs.
