Digital Twin for TrakRap
Business Optimization Solutions
Information
A small British company has developed a revolutionary packaging system that is reducing the consumption of energy and material by food producers. With its cold wrapping technology, TrakRap has not only taken heat and waste out of the packaging line; it is working with Siemens to provide its customers with all the benefits of manufacturing digitalization.
CLIENT CHALLENGE
Develop and test a packaging system that is reducing the consumption of energy and material and eliminating the instability.
OUR APPROACH
➜ Siemens supported TrakRap to develop a new machine specifically designed to wrap aerosol canisters, that are prone to instability during the pacakging process
➜ Siemens technology has been used to virtually develop, test and commission TrakRap’s machine using a digital twin, a fully functioning 3D computer model of the machine.
THE IMPACT
✓ Manufacturing predictability: achieving a stable production process before assembling the first physical model
✓ Time to market reduced by 40% and development costs cut by 30% due to the elimination of the physical prototype stage
✓ 90% less energy
✓ 70% less film
