Einblick in die 3D-Simulation und das Dashboard des Digitalen Zwillings im Projekt FlexTools
The FlexTools project is developing a digital twin that supports the planning, introduction and operation of AMR.

Autonomous mobile robots (AMR) open up opportunities for the automotive industry, but pose new hurdles for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in particular. The FlexTools project is therefore developing a digital twin that supports the planning, introduction and operation of AMR. It combines 3D simulation with a dashboard and enables operational and financial simulation and monitoring. This creates added value over the entire AMR life cycle and facilitates the use of AMR.
