A digital twin digitally replicates real-world plants and systems. This allows production conditions to be monitored in real time, processes to be simulated, scenarios to be tested, and optimizations to be derived before they are implemented in reality. Companies can thus minimize risks, reduce development costs, and accelerate innovation cycles. Seamless integration into existing products, machines, and processes is crucial.
Dürr Consulting helps companies evaluate AI use cases from a practical perspective and derive recommendations for the effective use of AI in planning, production, and business processes.
Location and network decisions are important because individual optimizations at specific sites often reach their limits, and the performance of the entire network is critical to competitiveness, service levels, flexibility, and costs.
Operational Excellence means systematically analyzing production and logistics processes, identifying opportunities for optimization, and making processes leaner, more stable, and more scalable through KPI-based management, benchmarking, shop floor management, simulations, and material flow analyses.
