Digital twins: Intelligent control for energy efficiency

In ActiveDB, machines, systems and processes are modeled as digital twins. These twins are far more than just digital images – they function as active control elements: they analyze data in real time, simulate scenarios and control machines in such a way that energy consumption, productivity and capacity utilization are optimally harmonized.

How do digital twins control energy consumption?

  1. Real-time monitoring:
    sensors continuously record operating data such as energy consumption, capacity utilization and production speed. This data flows directly into the digital twins and constantly expands them.

  2. Intelligent control:
    The digital twins use their functions to dynamically adjust machine parameters. For example, energy consumption is reduced when capacity utilization decreases – without affecting productivity.

  3. Simulation and optimization:
    Before each adjustment, the twins simulate various scenarios to ensure that the optimum balance between energy efficiency and production output is achieved.

  4. Automatic adjustment:
    Based on the simulation results, the digital twins control the machines autonomously – from load distribution to fine adjustment of production parameters.

Advantages of active control with digital twins

  • Energy efficiency:
    Reduced energy consumption thanks to intelligent adjustments in real time.
  • Maximum productivity:
    machines are controlled in such a way that production output is not impaired.
  • Optimum capacity utilization:
    The digital twins ensure that machines always work in the optimum operating range – neither overloaded nor underloaded.
  • Sustainability:
    Efficient use of resources actively contributes to reducing the carbon footprint.

Praktische Anwendungen

The possibilities of ActiveDB are versatile and can be used in various areas:

Production lines:
Digital twins control the speed and load distribution of machines for energy-efficient production.

Energy management:
Integration of renewable energies into the production process – e.g. by using stored solar power during peak times.

Maintenance control:
Predictive maintenance ensures that machines are always operated in optimum condition, which minimizes energy losses.

Conclusion: efficiency meets sustainability

With ActiveDB, you can not only optimize your energy consumption, but also increase your productivity and operate more sustainably. The living digital twins enable intelligent control of your machines and systems – based on real-time data and simulations – so that you can use resources more efficiently.
