ESI Demo Factrory

The ESI Demo Factory is a unique platform combining a physical factory (FischerTechnik-based) and a digital twin - a 3D virtual model. It serves as the foundation for demonstrating TNO-ESI tools and methodologies in real-world scenarios.

Why it matters

  • Showcase TNO-ESI innovations to potential customers and partners.
  • Open research platform to validate the generic value of ESI tools.
  • Demonstrate how TNO-ESI methodologies support our mission of improving system design and integration.

Technical setup

Both the physical and digital factories share the same Interface Hardware Abstraction Layer (IHAL), accessible via the OPC-UA industry standard.

  • Manual operation via OPC-UA client
  • Autonomous control through a supervisory controller
  • Seamless integration with TNO-ESI tools for testing and validation
