Virtual Calibration
Sensors are calibrated and adjusted over time or in the event of target/actual deviations to ensure measurement quality.

This is done by comparing the sensor with a reference that is 10 times more accurate in the laboratory. Production stops may occur due to intervention in the production process, either for bypass calibration or for the removal of the sensor for calibration. NEAR FUTURE CASE 04

01
Connection
Individual or various sensors are integrated into a process system and connected to a control centre.

If a deviation from the target range is detected, a comparison can be initiated automatically or manually using a virtual reference in the laboratory. 04

01
Review
and Comparison
The measured values are synchronized via the digital twins of the sensor in the system and the reference device in the laboratory.

The offset between the target and actual values is determined, and corrective compensation data is generated and uploaded to the sensor in the system. 04

Virtual Calibration
In virtual calibration, real measured values are compared with assumptions and simulations in the digital twin to determine deviations. The real sensor is calibrated via its physical instance, while the simulation determines the framework conditions of the virtual reference. No more dismantling for the
calibration of devices in a system Fewer plant stops due to expansion
and remodelling Virtual Setup 03

Virtual Valve setup
Setting process valves to regulate the correct process temperature in the food and beverage industry is time-consuming work that involves a lot of trial and error.
Many factors have to be taken into account in order to ultimately achieve consistent quality through exact switching points. Long setup times are necessary, with a high amount of wasted medium APPROVED CASE 03

01
Dynamic Simulation
With the help of model-based design, the components of the system, the environment and the media can be precisely simulated and controlled.
The results are used as settings for the pre-parameterisation
of the process valves. 03

Virtual Setup
In the future, many of our components will already interact digitally with their later physical environment. As a result, we not only supply individual components but also genuine added value that originates in the digital world: Time/cost savings due to
no need for setup Less waste of medium and energy Virtual Calibration
