Digital twin

Test plants virtually before they run

  • Check control software before commissioning
  • Simulate sensors, actuators and plant responses
  • Reduce downtime during retrofits and extensions
Virtual commissioning

A real plant. Tested virtually.

The digital twin virtually models relevant sensors, actuators, machine states and control sequences. The PLC program, visualisation and operating functions can therefore be checked before the physical plant is fully available.
1

Represent the physical structure

Machines, drives, sensors and actuators are given virtual counterparts in the digital model.

2

Simulate field signals

Limit switches, levels, material monitoring and fault signals can be generated and checked virtually.

3

Test the PLC program

The control software is tested against the virtual plant model before all physical hardware is available.

4

Check operator screens in advance

HMI and visualisation functions can be tested and coordinated using simulated plant states.

5

Validate process logic

Start and stop sequences, interlocks, permissives and fault responses can be checked before physical commissioning.

6

Agree functions earlier

Customer requirements, operating logic and program functions can be assessed during the virtual test phase.

Technical equipment

The physical plant is represented digitally with its relevant machines, sensors, actuators, states and control sequences.

Start and stop sequences, interlocks, permissives, automatic functions and fault responses can be checked in the model in advance.

The PLC program and visualisation are connected to the digital plant model to validate functions before physical commissioning.

Limit switches, levels, material monitoring, drives, valves, gates and other field signals can be simulated virtually.

Operator screens, plant status, messages and operating functions can be tested and coordinated using simulated process conditions.

Your benefits

Test with greater confidence. Commission faster.

Detect errors earlier

Functions, signals and sequences can be checked and corrected before physical commissioning.

Improve software quality

The PLC program, visualisation and operating logic are tested under realistic conditions before deployment at the plant.

Prepare commissioning more effectively

Many tests are completed in advance, making physical commissioning more predictable and structured.

Reduce downtime

Virtual testing in advance helps validate modifications and software changes, particularly in retrofit projects.

Agree functions earlier

Operator screens, workflows and customer requirements can be checked and adapted before plant start-up.

Training on the plant model

Operators can be trained on the virtual plant before the physical plant is fully available.

Applications
Applications at a glance
WÖHWA solutions support processing in quarries, sand and gravel plants and recycling plants.
Quarries

WÖHWA supports quarries with practical solutions for reliable, efficient and safe plant operation over the long term.

Proven solutions for quarries
Many processes must work reliably together in quarries. Robust equipment, coordinated workflows and solutions that meet the demands of day-to-day operation are essential.
Sand and gravel plants

WÖHWA supports sand and gravel plants with practical solutions for reliable processes and consistently safe plant operation.

Proven solutions for sand and gravel plants
Sand and gravel plants depend on reliable processes, robust equipment and smooth plant operation. Solutions need to suit each plant's specific workflows and requirements.
Recycling plants

Solutions for flexible processes, changing requirements and reliable operation in recycling plants.

Proven solutions for recycling plants
Recycling plants face particular technical and operational demands due to changing materials and varying process requirements. Flexible solutions and reliable day-to-day processes are therefore essential.
