DIGITAL TWIN
The digital twin uses real-time data and targeted simulations to enable greater efficiency, higher plant availability, and informed decisions at every stage of the product life cycle.
A digital twin is much more than a 3D model. It is the precise, digital representation of a real product, process, or system – enriched with real-time data and simulations. At GEMÜ, we develop digital twins that simplify planning processes, maximize operating times, and enable predictive maintenance.
FIVE AREAS OF APPLICATION FOR DIGITAL TWINS
From engineering and virtual commissioning to operation: our solutions cover all phases.
All relevant data from a single source, including 3D models, data sheets, certificates, and price indications.
Use simulation to determine the behavior of the component even before prototype construction.
Component data for testing complete systems in virtual environments.
Audit-proof documentation of all maintenance measures using QR/RFID technology.
Real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance through integrated sensor technology.
FROM MODEL TO REAL ADDED VALUE
The digital twin is more than just a virtual image—it is a strategic tool for planning, operation, and service. Precise data, simulations, and real-time analyses enable concrete added value to be realized.
GEMÜ supports you right from the planning phase of your systems. We offer you all relevant data and information on our components and valves from a single data source. This enables your planning engineer to take a holistic view and design the system.
Our configurator provides the digital twin with price indication, operating instructions, data sheets, certificates, and 3D data. In addition, you can call up material compatibility data, control valve designs, and tender texts.
For optimal valve selection, it is important to know the behavior of the component before prototyping. The simulation twin provides results as a functional mock-up unit (FMU) and enables individual process requirements to be tested at an early stage.
This reduces uncertainties, increases the probability of success in the FAT, and makes planning easier for engineering teams.
We provide you with detailed component data, including functional descriptions. This allows you to integrate this data into your virtual development environment and comprehensively test your entire system before physical delivery.
With our digital twin, you can quickly analyze the causes of problems or make the training and familiarization of new employees more efficient. We use the FMI/FMU framework as the data format.
With the serialized digital twin, GEMÜ offers a specialized software solution for the digital mapping of maintenance processes in process engineering plants. It enables structured, audit-proof documentation of all maintenance measures and supports the unique identification of components via RFID technology and QR codes.
The digital recording and processing of all relevant maintenance data ensures that the entire life cycle of a component is documented in a transparent and traceable manner.
Our position indicators and controllers feature embedded sensors that enable continuous condition monitoring during operation. The sensors record relevant operating parameters of the valve and can provide this data in real time.
Direct connection to higher-level control or management systems allows operators to evaluate the current status of each individual valve live.
