Abstract [en]
The emergence of software tools for testing control programs and virtual commissioning (VC) in industrial automation projects makes it possible to shorten lead times and improve product quality, but it also brings to light the need for competent technicians in these technologies. The academic environment can support the education of future professionals by reproducing and solving industrial problems in the classroom. This article presents a use case in which students work on a project to develop and validate the control system of a robotic cell. The study compares the conventional way of working against the use of a digital twin and exposes the benefits of it.
