…quickly study a system’s dominant aspects. Image courtesy of Siemens Digital Industries Software. Starting with a problem that the engineer defines, ML can help streamline optimization of a high number of variables. The workflow begins by using a co-simulation model to create datasets to train a ROM, providing sufficiently accurate results across all of the physics required (Fig. 2). “ROM can improve product design in numerous ways,” says Jenmy Zhang, post-doctoral researcher at Autodesk. “A few examples include reducing overall time to generate many design possibilities, predicting part performance on the fly during interactive design and product performance probabilistic sensitivity…

…the digital twin,” Kasper adds. Orchestrating engineering and operations Siemens has included service lifecycle management in its industrial software portfolio for many years. “Our strength has always been product configuration, understanding how an asset or a plant is configured,” says Yishai Barak, director of service lifecycle management, at Siemens Digital Industries Software. “But this is not the same as service operations. Without consideration of the physical asset in the digital model, you don’t have the full story.” Siemens then retired a few software products from their order book and set about to create a service operations platform that combined partnerships…

…Source Seshagiri Marellapudi, head of MindSphere IIoT Cloud Platform, Siemens, also pays attention to data, as the backbone of Industry 4.0 transformation. In his presentation, he said, “It's all about how you pull the data from your industrial systems, what you can do with it, and how you produce actionable insights.” MindSphere, he proposes, is a good solution to connect your physical device to the digital counterpart to create a closed loop digital twin lifecycle. In the digital simulation of a factory's operation, for example, “there are often opportunities to improve the production line in reality. Can you create these…
