This is because in the Inline production line for PCBs, the production process is not controlled by a central control center. Instead, it\u2019s controlled by the twin. And it does so by steering the stroller to stay in the picture. The DNA in the twin contains all the information on the production steps and their sequence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/update.phoenixcontact.com\/media\/2020\/02\/Zwilling34-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4041\" srcset=\"https:\/\/update.phoenixcontact.com\/media\/2020\/02\/Zwilling34-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/update.phoenixcontact.com\/media\/2020\/02\/Zwilling34-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/update.phoenixcontact.com\/media\/2020\/02\/Zwilling34.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption>A carrier with component<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Till Potente is Head of Production, and he explains to us what this shift in intelligence involves. \u201cThe data that each individual product already has is loaded onto an RFID chip that is on board a transportation vehicle, the carrier. This carrier then travels on a conveyor belt from station to station. This transporter \u201cknows\u201d where it has to go thanks to the information on the chip. If, for example, its cargo needs a marking, the carrier switches the downstream points so that it moves onto the section of line leading to the laser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/update.phoenixcontact.com\/media\/2020\/02\/Zwilling37.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4047\" srcset=\"https:\/\/update.phoenixcontact.com\/media\/2020\/02\/Zwilling37.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/update.phoenixcontact.com\/media\/2020\/02\/Zwilling37-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/update.phoenixcontact.com\/media\/2020\/02\/Zwilling37-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It therefore autonomously controls precisely which work steps it has to go through until the product, in this case the real twin, has reached completion. Finally, it then goes to quality control, where the properties are tested against the DNA.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The component is the captain<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>But what\u2019s the advantage? \u201cThe product controls itself. This allows us to achieve individualizations in production &#8211; in other words, to add properties and components to an order &#8211; at lightning speed. This ensures maximum flexibility in our production line.\u201d Thanks to the data from the digital twin and coordinated machine technology, industrial batch size 1 production, as it were, can be realized. \u201cOf course, not in real mass production, where we would have to rely on a central control center again,\u201d Dr. Potente is quick to point out, \u201cbut with small-volume orders with great variability, the advantage of digitalization comes into its own here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/update.phoenixcontact.com\/media\/2020\/02\/Zwilling36-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4045\" srcset=\"https:\/\/update.phoenixcontact.com\/media\/2020\/02\/Zwilling36-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/update.phoenixcontact.com\/media\/2020\/02\/Zwilling36-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/update.phoenixcontact.com\/media\/2020\/02\/Zwilling36.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>He adds, \u201cBy the way, this also makes the system itself extremely modular, because we can exchange or add different workstations as needed without restricting ongoing operation. This allows us to react quickly to new requirements or minor disruptions. This makes the process much more stable.\u201d The product controls the system. Or, to be more precise, its digital twin, which is already complete and knows what its real counterpart ought to look like later, does. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/update.phoenixcontact.com\/en\/production\/smart-factory\/we-feed-it\/\" class=\"ek-link\">We feed it<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/update.phoenixcontact.com\/en\/production\/smart-factory\/we-train-it\/\" class=\"ek-link\">We train it<\/a> <br><span style=\"background-color:#fcb900\" class=\"has-inline-background\">We control with it <\/span><br><a href=\"https:\/\/update.phoenixcontact.com\/en\/production\/we-print-with-it\/\" class=\"ek-link\">We print with it<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/update.phoenixcontact.com\/en\/production\/weve-got-it\/\" class=\"ek-link\">We&#8217;ve got it! <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It goes back to Bad Pyrmont.
