Getting it right with virtual commissioning

Testing highly automated production lines and control systems prior to commissioning without proper simulation often leads to costly corrective design configurations and, in turn, delayed launch schedules. We design virtual commissioning models for our customers’ industrial machinery to ensure proper safety and functionality of machines and production lines before they are actually commissioned. Virtual commissioning helps shorten planning and commissioning lead times and save costs. 

A multidisciplinary team at your service

Beside complete projects and turn-key deliveries, we are also able to provide expert capacity to our client base. We are even able to setup a whole team of specialists immediately. We understand what you are looking for because we have over four decades of expertise within your field.

Our mechatronic engineers are therefore indispensable and essential. Within our projects, they tie it all together: the mechanical, electrical and software aspects of our tangible solutions. Focused mainly on robotics and industrial automation, our mechatronics are there for you during the whole process, from the first few sketches all the way up to even beyond the finish.

To make these machines actually work, PLC programmers are required. Their skill set is considered to be very unique: a logical and methodological way of thinking, extensive and up-to-date knowledge of machinery-related fields and, more than anything, large doses of creativity and empathy. After all, to get a machine working and thus to maximize your production performance, the perspective of the user has to be taken as the jumping-off point. To complete successfully, a meticulous start is essential. Therefore, our PLC programmers are part of Etteplan’ s multidisciplinary team from the very beginning and onwards.

Our experienced project managers always take full responsibility for Etteplan’ s projects: ‘Unburdening’ is the absolute key. They are result-oriented, and pragmatic as ever, but never overlook the human aspects. Regarding machine building, joining, and bonding, optimizing assembly processes and maximizing production performance, our project managers lead the way, with an awareness of the crucial importance of communication. Unequivocal is ‘the power of (being on) time’: after all, time has an impact on your entire enterprise.

YazzoomYazzoom

Etteplan is partnering up with Yazzoom to create more value out of the production data. Since 2011, Yazzoom applies artificial intelligence, machine learning and data mining to solve the challenges of industrial companies, either through standard solutions or using custom-developed software and predictive models. Use cases include optimizing industrial production processes, increasing stability and safety, solving quality issues, increasing throughput, reducing energy and material use, predictive maintenance or automatically detecting early signs of technical issues. 80 percent of downtime is caused by never-seen-before technical incidents. Our main software solution, YANOMALY, doesn’t need an issue to have already occurred in the past to detect early signs of failure. Thanks to proprietary self-learning algorithms it warns of any deviation from normal operations, previously known or not.
