Digital. Well thought out. Directly realizable

Digital Coordination

Your interface to the digital world

Digital coordination is the core of our work – it connects all disciplines already in the proposal phase and creates a shared digital foundation for the entire project. Digital coordination is based on our “Digital First” strategy.

Our coordinators work closely with CAD, CAE, software, and virtual commissioning teams to anchor digital thinking throughout. They bring transparency, structured processes, and clear interfaces to your company.

They are more than internal integrators: they serve as the link to the real world and, as the project manager’s point of contact, hold all digital threads together.

The result: fewer loops, clearer communication, a shared digital understanding – from planning to commissioning.

Design

Seamless design – ready for simulation and digitalization.

We create mechanical and electrical designs with maximum precision – always keeping the next phase in mind: virtual commissioning and the digital twin.

CAD/CAE services:

  • CAD design: Detailed 3D models including motion groups, material definitions, and digital twin compatibility
  • CAE planning: Structured electrical schematics, built according to standards, prepared for automated signal processing and PLC mapping

With our models, we provide not only the foundation for manufacturing and assembly – but for all subsequent digital processes.

This is how engineering becomes the driving force of your digital transformation.

Software

Structured control – reliable, maintainable, future-proof.

We develop custom PLC programs for complex machines and systems – modular, documented, and ready for use in the digital twin. Our software forms the foundation for safe and successful commissioning. We rely on proven platforms such as TIA Portal, TwinCAT, CoDeSys, or ctrlX – precisely tailored to your requirements.

Our software services at a glance:

  • Development of PLC programs including safety logic and motion
  • Implementation of customer-specific software specifications
  • Preparation for virtual and real commissioning
  • Software “Made by You” – just by us. Perfectly integrated, down to the last detail.

Our software is not only functional – it’s also maintainable, transparent, and ready for the next step.

vIBN – Development

From behavior models to APIs – your development partner for virtual machines

For realistic virtual commissioning, we develop digital components with functional depth: from behavior models and simulation models to custom plugins and interfaces.

Whether process simulation, API integration, or modular building blocks – we create precisely tailored, reusable solutions for your digital machine.

Our vIBN development services at a glance:

  • Behavior models: C# logic for the behavior of sensors, actuators, and processes
  • Simulation models: Behavior model + CAD – combined and parameterized
  • Plugins & interfaces: Extensions and integrations via SDK/API
  • SceneObjects: Interactive objects for the virtual world

Together with you, we create a digital replica that serves as a test environment, communication basis, and documentation source.

This makes commissioning plannable, scalable, and efficient.

vIBN

Virtual commissioning – testing to ensure project success.

With virtual commissioning (vIBN), we validate and test your machine entirely digitally – even before mechanical, electrical, or control components are physically produced. Processes, sensors, actuators, and control logic are realistically simulated, played through, and optimized in the digital twin. Whether Software-in-the-Loop (SiL), Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL), or Model-in-the-Loop (MiL) – we offer the right simulation type for your needs.

Our vIBN services at a glance:

  • Early error detection and risk minimization
  • Less material usage, less rework, lower costs, faster real IBN
  • Training, testing, and approvals – also possible remotely and automatically

IBN

Commission efficiently – with a digital edge.

Real commissioning (IBN) is a critical milestone in any automation solution. We support you with structured preparation and proven methodology.

Our IBN services at a glance:

  • Preparation & validation based on digital data
  • On-site execution – efficient, safe, documented
  • Support & assistance until final system approval

Our software is not only functional – it is also maintainable, transparent, and ready for the next step.

Academy

Build knowledge. Understand digital coordination. Shape the future.

In the academy, we provide practical know-how on virtual mechanical engineering and virtual commissioning. Whether beginner or expert – our trainings and workshops offer insights into tools, methods, and best practices from real customer projects.

Our formats:

  • vIBN training: Introduction to modeling, logic, and system understanding
  • Hands-on workshops – working together on real models, understanding errors, developing solutions
  • Individual training courses – tailored to project, industry, and technology

Learn, apply, improve – straight from practice, for practice.
