This presentation demonstrates, based on various industrial projects, how the ema Software Suite enables an integrated approach to factory and work planning. It allows the simultaneous optimization of material flows, costs, resource utilization, as well as ergonomic and time-related criteria. Work processes are simulated using digital human models and collaboratively designed through virtual reality and NVIDIA Omniverse, with real-world use cases illustrating these approaches in practice.
Furthermore, the presentation highlights the integration of AI functionalities into the ema Software Suite and explores the potential they offer for future planning processes. With emaAI, the next step introduces the automated generation of process simulations based on work instructions as well as additional process and product data, while also supporting users in the targeted analysis and optimisation of work and production processes.
This presentation demonstrates how factory and work planning can be accelerated by seamlessly connecting real-world data with virtual planning tools. Using selected industrial use cases, it shows how automatically segmented laser scan data is applied to layout planning and detailed workstation design. RIIICO transforms raw point clouds into intelligent 3D landscapes by segmenting scanned environments into hundreds of discrete, movable objects, enabling rapid and flexible usability for planning purposes. This segmented data provides the foundation for further layout and workstation optimisation using the EMA Work Designer. The presented use cases illustrate how the integration of laser scanning, intelligent data processing and virtual simulation significantly reduces planning effort while improving planning quality in factory and work design.
This presentation showcases a holistic simulation of digital twins with realistic logic and behaviour in NVIDIA Omniverse. An integrated industrial metaverse toolchain enables AI training, collaboration, and the use of open data standards. The interaction between different tools is demonstrated using a representative plant scenario. ISG-virtuos enables virtual commissioning, which is further enhanced through layout planning with ipolog as well as temporal and ergonomic process simulation using the EMA Work Designer. In this way, requirements related to automation and the capability-oriented design of work processes can be considered in an integrated manner. The integration is achieved via SyncTwin and IPI Extensions, clearly demonstrating the added value of a consistent, integrated end-to-end simulation.
The metaverse opens up new opportunities for industry in the areas of digitalisation, collaboration, and efficiency improvement. To this end, key concepts and technologies of the metaverse are presented, along with an exploration of how virtual spaces can enable sustainable changes in production processes, product development, and employee training.
Using various practical examples, application fields of Omniverse in the context of factory and workplace design are then illustrated. The focus is on robot simulation and the interaction with ema in conjunction with services such as Isaac Sim and Composer for designing human-robot work processes. Furthermore, it is demonstrated how environments and the physically accurate behaviour of sensors can be mapped within a metaverse environment in combination with photorealistic image data to support the training of AI models for component recognition, position determination, and layout creation.
This presentation highlights the role of remanufacturing as a key enabler of sustainable production within the circular economy. It addresses the specific challenges of disassembly processes and demonstrates how these can be effectively planned and evaluated using the ema Software Suite.
Based on practical scenarios, the added value of process simulation with ema is demonstrated, highlighting new possibilities enabled by the use of robotics. Particular attention is given to ergonomic and time-related requirements, while representative disassembly scenarios illustrate how complex product structures can be systematically dismantled, analyzed, and optimised. In addition, an outlook on further application areas in factory and work simulation for the circular economy is provided.
This tandem presentation highlights the use of the ema Software Suite in construction, drawing on practical and research use cases from OTH Regensburg and BG BAU. OTH Regensburg presents applications from the Building Lab and the Construction Robotics Test Hall, focusing on economically viable robotics solutions and selective automation in human-robot collaboration on construction sites and in prefabrication. Using the ema Work Designer, human work processes and robotic systems are jointly modelled, simulated and evaluated to support data-driven planning and systems engineering. BG BAU demonstrates how ema is used in operational practice to assess and visualise preventive measures, improving occupational safety and the acceptance of technical solutions in construction.
