Real and virtual commissioning: Hymmen leverages digital twins to improve project management efficiency.
Bielefeld, 1 /22/25 – The ideal scenario is one in which a production plant functions perfectly even before commissioning. However, a more detailed analysis of plant projects often reveals a different reality: unexpected challenges often arise during on-site commissioning that must be resolved with considerable deadlines. Hymmen demonstrates how digital twins can offer a solution. By simulating the production process in advance on a 1:1 scale and taking into account all relevant variables, this technology allows timely intervention at critical points.
