Virtual Sensing
für Industrial Automation

USE CASE

Was ist Virtual Sensing?

Virtual Sensing enables the determination of process variables that are difficult, expensive, or not directly measurable in real plants. By linking a simulation model with live data, a reliable foundation is created for transparency, monitoring, and optimization during operation.

Make non-directly measurable states visible

Extend live data with virtual measurements

Create a foundation for analysis and optimization

Auswirkungen von Interlock Check

Sichtbar

Relevant process variables are calculated virtually and made available for operation, analysis and evaluation.

Real-time

The model runs in parallel to the real plant and continuously reflects current states in sync.

Vergleichbar

Relevant process variables are calculated virtually and made available for operation, analysis and evaluation.

Applicable

The model runs in parallel to the real plant and continuously reflects current states in sync.

So funktioniert es

Virtual Sensing as a
continuous data loop

Live production data is continuously linked with simulation models to calculate additional process values for monitoring, analysis and optimization.

Eingabe

Live Data

Sensor values, control signals and current machine states are captured from the real system.

Core

Simulationsmodell

The model runs in parallel and calculates process values that are difficult or impossible to measure directly.

Ausgabe

Virtual Insights

The result supports monitoring, bottleneck detection, optimization and predictive applications.

Applications

Where Virtual Sensing
creates value

Virtual Sensing is applied in industrial environments where direct measurement reaches its limits. By combining simulation models with real production data, it enables deeper insights, improved monitoring and new optimization strategies.

01

Kollisionserkennung

Detect critical states and potential collisions by evaluating virtual process variables in real time.

02

Process Monitoring

Extend existing sensor data with additional virtual information to gain a more complete view of system behavior.

03

Taktzeitanalyse

Analyze process performance using calculated values that are not physically measurable in the real system.

04

Bottleneck Identification

Identify hidden constraints in production by correlating real and simulated data.

05

Predictive Analytics

Use enriched data models to detect patterns and predict future system behavior.

06

Energy Monitoring

Estimate consumption and efficiency based on simulation-driven insights where direct measurement is not available.
