Simulators
At Batenburg JB Systems, we have over ten years of experience in creating customer-specific real-time simulators. The use of simulators leads to smarter, more efficient, and safer operations. Our simulators are efficiently built based on existing components such as PLC hardware, 3D drawings, and dynamic models. Our simulators contribute to insight, reliable software, and safe operations.
At Batenburg JB Systems, we have had the privilege of realising many simulators for various purposes. The simulators we have created have been used for the following purposes:
1. Communication and commercial purposes
2. Testing and validation
3. Training purposes
Communication
This is where simulators provide significant added value. With a 3D simulation, we can easily and clearly communicate how a device can or should operate. Through a 3D simulation, which is an essential component of a simulator, all stakeholders involved in the development of a device or system can contribute from their own perspective. Additionally, a simulator ensures that the functionality is represented unambiguously.
Testing and Validation
Regardless of a company's goal, simulators increase the likelihood of achieving that goal. Efficiency, problem-solving, and time-saving are at the core, resulting in savings on multiple fronts. During the development of a system's PLC software, a simulator contributes to testing this software. Since our simulators are real-time, the functionality can be extensively tested on the simulator. Especially exceptional situations such as power outages and emergencies can be safely tested. This, in turn, contributes to a shorter commissioning time and faster system operation.
For training purposes within a company, such as learning to operate equipment?
Simulation allows individuals to work safely in a simulated realistic environment. No more concerns about making mistakes, as practice takes place in a simulated environment before actual work. By using the simulator, no production time is lost with the real system.
Through the use of simulation, the client gains insight into the status and functionality of the software. This allows them to provide feedback in the early stages if the results align with their expectations. It also provides a better understanding of the operation, enabling improvements to be implemented earlier.
Different Simulators
To achieve the best results, Batenburg JB Systems provides various custom-made simulators. Whether it's a solution in machine building or process control, there is a suitable simulator for each. The simulators are created by integrating individual systems into one simulator. Depending on the purpose of the simulator, this can result in different configurations. At Batenburg JB Systems, we can therefore quickly and affordably build a customised simulator.
Benefits of a Simulator
Due to our well-thought-out approach, our simulators are scalable. Simulators can initially be very simple and easily expanded later with features like dynamic and physical models, operator consoles, screens, or a VR headset.
Benefits of a simulator:
Safety:
- Reducing the risk of accidents through training
- A safe environment with no danger to people or machinery
- Training for emergency procedures
- Training for extreme situations in a safe environment
Efficiency:
- Comprehensive training possibilities
- Various training options, from familiarity training to production optimisation
- Training for procedures and communication
- Time and cost-saving
Economic and environmental benefits:
- No loss of production time due to incorrect operation
- Reduced wear and tear on machinery
- Increased productivity
- Minimal energy consumption
- No production downtime due to training
Custom Simulators
At Batenburg JB Systems, we believe in personalised solutions. By having custom simulators made, you can be certain that it aligns with your company's needs and that it pays off. A simulator requires an investment, but the benefits and returns resulting from its use will more than compensate for it.
