Technology: Digital twin
Industry: Appliance, Automotive, Thermoforming
INTRODUCTION
A Thermoforming Digital Twin (SaaS) for appliances and automotive companies that prevents scraps and optimizes plastic thickness & energy consumption unlike monitoring-only solutions in the market. This Digital Twin will have the ability to simulate both thermal effects as well as deflection on materials through thermomechanical loads. Using temperature measurements, heating elements will be calibrated based on radiative heat transfer formulations.
FEATURES/BENEFITS
Features:
- 3D Heat Transfer simulation
- Optimization of heater temperatures and heating cycle
- Calibration via real-time data connection to existing thermocouple sensors
- Failed heater compensation
Benefits:
- Reduce the thickness and scrap and the cost
- Energy consumption optimization
- Reduced cycle time (increased speed of production)
- Increased throughput
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
- Works with minimum data (data collected in a week instead of months).
- No extra sensors are needed (safety sensors on the machine is good to go)
- Able to virtually test new types of plastics as a raw material without physical trials in production line
