Today's topic: The 4D model for safety components. Schmersal will present a 4D model of its safety components at SPS2024, Smart Production Solutions, in Nuremberg, stand 460, hall 9. This model is a digital twin of the DHS door handle system and the AZM40 solenoid interlock. In addition to the three-dimensional representation (3D), the virtual image represents the real devices’ attributes and functionalities in a fourth dimension (4D). If, for example, a guard door is unlocked using the actual button on the door handle, the LEDs on the digital twin illuminate in the same way as the physical equivalent.  This makes Schmersal one of the first companies to create a digital twin for safety components.
