Digital twin supports robot certification

Safety is the top priority when using robots in automation. But certification is expensive and time-consuming. Virtual safety tests are possible with a digital twin.

For large companies, the entry into automation with robots is easier than for a small or medium-sized enterprise (SME). At the same time, the safety of the operating personnel is always in view. The Fraunhofer Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technology IWU, together with the start-up Coboworx from Dresden, has found a way to shorten the time-consuming certification of robots in production plants.
