Twin-Control Evaluation in Industrial Environment: Automotive Case

This chapter presents the evaluation of Twin-Control in an automotive validation scenario consisting in the production line of a RENAULT electrical motor component that is composed by three COMAU machine tools. Automotive industry requires very optimized and controlled machining process, due to large batches and tight margin cost. In addition, life-cycle features like energy consumption and maintenance costs are of special relevance. The evaluation covers the different stages of the product developing cycle. This document highlights different obtained results of the implementation of Twin-Control features and their impact. Great benefits are provided to the industrial end-users.
