Using Machine Learning for Pump Diagnostics
Using simulation models to develop an ultra-precise pump, using simulations to generate training data for neural networks, use machine learning to diagnose pumps? If that makes you want to know more you should read the article that was jointly written by Controllab and Spark Holland. It was published last Friday in Mikroniek.
Digital Twin Factory
How can we create digital twins easier and faster? That is the goal of our long term research project ‘Digital Twin Factory’. Develop technology that will allow us to create digital twins just as a factory assembly line. One of the goals of the R&D project is to use customer input to automatically generate simulation models.
