At the Contact Software booth, a racing simulator was presented, which already drew attention last year and is networked with Contact's Elements platform. This demo illustrates how the integration of IoT, PLM and MES can lead to an increase in efficiency and speed in industrial development and manufacturing processes. Contact Software's IoT platform collects and analyzes telemetry data from the simulator to identify potential optimizations for vehicle components, taking into account possible CO2 savings among other things. Corresponding components are then efficiently tested in the digital twin of the vehicle, saving time and resources. (Image: Vogel Communications Group) 18/23 Back to the Article
