The presented Technology , the "Digital Twins in the Wiring Harness" by Dr. Alexander Salinas during the trend outlook on September 27, 2023 in the transformation hub wiring harness offers an insight into the implementation of a standardized digital twin as part of the "Administration Shell for the Wiring Harness VWS4LS" project at Dräxlmaier. The central focus of the VWS4LS project is on overcoming the challenges of interoperability, digitizing processes and automating negotiation processes. The "digital twin in the wiring harness" technology plays a key role in this by enabling a comprehensive digital representation of physical products or systems. This makes a significant contribution to increasing efficiency, quality and flexibility in production.
The presentation provides a practical insight into the production of cable harnesses at a manufacturer, from the delivery of materials to final assembly. This concrete application illustrates the diverse possibilities and benefits of the technology in a real production environment. The close cooperation with other companies and projects, such as Catena X, underlines the industry-wide initiative to promote data exchange and establish standards in this area.
