Siemens and UL Solutions redefine future of certification process with groundbreaking digital-twin technology
Siemens and UL catapult digital twins into valid quality (accuracy) for product approval
Cedrik Neike, CEO Digital Industries and Managing Board Member at Siemens,
said: “Siemens’ digital twin technology is rewriting the rules of innovation. This
collaborative effort with UL Solutions is a testament to our dedication to a future in
which innovation knows no bounds. It invites industries and innovators alike to
explore the limitless possibilities that comprehensive digital twins offer for shaping
the future of product development.”
"UL Solutions has always been at the forefront of advancing safety science. Our
collaboration with Siemens in this transformative journey represents a significant
shift in the certification paradigm," Jennifer Scanlon, President and CEO of UL
Solutions points out. “The certification process relies on physical testing. Now, digital
simulations integrated with traditional methodologies can redefine how our
customers approach testing and certification and open new avenues for precision
and efficiency. UL Solutions is proud to be part of this revolutionary leap."
Revolutionizing product certification
Traditionally, product certification demanded exhaustive physical tests, often
subjecting a single product to a battery of assessments. Simulation based on the
digital twin is the answer to the special challenge and cost factor of test units and
certified laboratories when high power electronics components are involved.
Siemens and UL Solutions, however, introduced a paradigm shift. A product may
not need to undergo every test physically; instead, the process can integrate the
power of Siemens' digital twin technology. UL Solutions spearheads this
transformative approach, navigating the certification process with unmatched
expertise.
By harnessing the power of digital simulations, Siemens is ushering in an era in
which traditional testing boundaries are being transcended and product insights can
be gained with unprecedented speed and accuracy. The future of certification will be
characterized by reduced costs, accelerated time-to-market, and seamless
integration of digital modeling tools. Comprehensive digital twins are becoming the
cornerstone for not just helping to meet compliance requirements, but also driving
innovation at high speed without compromising safety, performance or quality.
In Siemens’ pioneering venture into the industrial metaverse, the demarcation
between physical and digital spaces is becoming increasingly indistinct. The
resulting combination is fostering a dynamic environment conducive to innovation.
The first certification of an industrial product - the “SINAMICS G220” to be precise, a
sophisticated system that enables precise control and efficient operation of electrical
drives in various applications – leveraging Siemens’ comprehensive digital twin is a
compelling demonstration of the industrial metaverse’s potential to usher in
unprecedented possibilities for product development and other engineering tasks.
