Bitmanagement offers a digital factory tool program for Tarakos
The Challenge
To be competitive today construction, representation and simulation techniques are summarized under the term of “digital factory”. The target is to make industry processes more economic, more flexible and easier to handle, here virtual reality technology plays an increasingly important role. It offers an interactive realistic 3D imaging of machines and systems in virtual worlds. However, only economic solutions make the digital factory technology affordable to small and medium companies. VR control or the 3D-visualizer supports the 3D process visualization. The process visualization (HMI) tool networks 3D scenes, exported from customers CAD systems or from other planning tools with the PLC data using OPC technology. The digital factory solution is offered by tarakos, Germany, based on the visualization software of Bitmanagement. tarakos already develops industry solutions with the high end 3D visualization technology BS Contact based on the format VRML/X3D since more than 5 years.
The Solution
Tarakos offers an ISO standard 3d software based solution which allows an economic start to digital factory technology and provides various software tools and services. The digital factory solution implies basically three software tools such as VR builder, VR control and VR viewer. VR builder is a software tool for 3D configurators and time-based simulation of conveying, material flow and storage/warehouse equipment using the virtual reality (VR) technology. The program is used to visualize and analyze plants. Its special feature is the simple and quick usage of virtual, animated 3D scenes by users with no special programming or 3D designing skills due to huge libraries of parametric and animated 3D models available.
