Success Story: Optimizing Automation with Digital Twins for Failsafe Components

Modern automation systems are increasingly complex and require reliable solutions for installation, commissioning, and maintenance. Safety and efficiency are critical factors in these processes.

Pro²Future has developed a digital twin for failsafe components using Siemens’ SIMIT tool and the S7-PLCSIM Advanced virtual controller. The virtual model replicates the behaviour of safety-critical devices and supports system and safety engineers in testing scenarios, identifying risks, and validating safety measures – all without impacting real systems.

The benefits of the developed digital twins are clear:

  • Reduced commissioning time and smoother startups
  • Enhanced safety and reliability through detailed safety analysis
  • Lower operational costs by minimising on-site expertise and stoppages
  • Real-time insights for informed decision-making
  • Training opportunities for safety engineers in a safe virtual environment

These simulation tools are now available to customers through the official Siemens website.
