Mercedes-Benz and Siemens have developed a digital energy twin designed to help the automotive giant run all its factories sustainably.
Mercedes-Benz wants to run all its fully-owned production sites on 100% renewable energies by 2039. The digital energy twin enhances, simplifies and speeds up the early phase factory energy planning process for both brownfield and greenfield sites, the parties claim.
The twin (built on Siemens’ Xcelerator open digital business platform) is based on behavioural models of buildings, technical equipment and energy generation. It was designed and tested at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Sindelfingen, Germany.
