• With digital twins for virtual commissioning, NORD promises quicker availability of systems, even those with complex drives. • | Source: NORD Drivesystems NORD Drivesystems has announced that it now offers digital twins for system development. • Based on a myNORD configuration, users can request individually created drive systems as simulation models. • Thecompanysaid this allows engineers to verify whether the drive concept is suitable for a system early in the planning phase. • Virtual commissioning can significantly reduce project time, even for complex systems, it claimed. • Since the publication of the functional mock-up interface (FMI) technical standard in 2010, it has become more and more common to work withsimulationmodels in system planning.

Article Summaries:

  • NORD Drivesystems has launched a digital‑twin platform that lets users create simulation models of fully configured drive systems via its myNORD portal. The service, developed with Munich‑based Machineering, enables virtual commissioning, allowing engineers to test drive concepts early and identify errors before manufacturing. NORD claims the approach can cut the time from configuration to commissioning from several months to a few weeks. Initially the platform covers high‑efficiency IE5+ motors, gear units and frequency inverters, with plans to extend simulation models to other product lines. The move reflects the growing use of FMI‑based simulation in system planning and aims to improve efficiency and availability for NORD’s customers.
  • NORD Drivesystems has launched a digital‑twin platform that lets engineers configure and simulate drive systems through its myNORD portal. By generating simulation models of fully configured drives, customers can perform virtual commissioning, testing performance, mounting options, and outputs before production. The service, developed with Munich‑based Machineering, aims to catch errors early, shorten the commissioning cycle from months to weeks, and improve system availability. Initially available for high‑efficiency IE4/IE5 motors, gear units, and inverters, NORD plans to extend the offering to other product lines. The move reflects growing industry use of functional mock‑up interface (FMI) standards for early‑stage system planning.
