Preflight

Preflight is a test environment for batch recipes, plant automation, and control concepts. It allows you to test new processes and control logic on your plant’s digital twin before it goes live, and you can even train your operating personnel using the model. This way, errors become apparent in the model rather than during actual production. This shortens the commissioning process and saves you from costly trial-and-error on the actual plant.

TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHTS

Flexible integration of digital simulation twins – from a wide range of modeling environments, based on the open Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI) standard
Open coupling to plant systems – connects to automation and batch systems via OPC UA and other communication protocols
Test complex plant configurations – couple multiple plant sections, each with its associated automation
Embedded OPC UA server – test without a real PLC; external clients (PLC, SCADA, UaExpert) connect as usual
Freely scalable time – real-time, accelerated, or fast-forward, without changing the configuration
Cloud to air-gapped – deploy however you choose: in the cloud, on-premise, or fully offline in an isolated plant network
