Siemens and UL Solutions redefine the future of certification processes with digital-twin technology

25 January 2024

For the first time, an industrial product has been certified for the United States after parts of the required tests were conducted through digital simulation. That simulation was verified and validated with physical testing. This achievement is a global first in a national safety-certification process.

To make this advance possible, Siemens collaborated with UL Solutions, a global leader in applied safety science. It marks a step forward into a future in which digital twins and the industrial metaverse streamlines product development, enhances innovation, safety and accelerates time-to-market.

Cedrik Neike, CEO Digital Industries and Managing Board Member at Siemens, said: “This collaborative effort with UL Solutions is a testament to our dedication to a future in which innovation knows no bounds. It invites industries and innovators to explore the possibilities that comprehensive digital twins offer for shaping the future of product development.”

Jennifer Scanlon, President and CEO of UL Solutions pointedout. “The certification process relies on physical testing. Now, digital simulations integrated with traditional methodologies can redefine how our customers approach testing and certification and open new avenues for precision and efficiency. UL Solutions is proud to be part of this revolutionary leap."

Simulation based on the digital twin is the answer to the challenge and cost factor of test units and certified laboratories when high power electronics components are involved. Siemens and UL Solutions have introduced a paradigm shift. A product may not need to undergo every test physically; instead, the process can integrate the power of digital twin technology.

Siemens predicts that the future of certification will be characterised by reduced costs, accelerated time-to-market, and seamless integration of digital modelling tools.

Comprehensive digital twins are becoming the cornerstone for not just helping to meet compliance requirements, but also driving innovation at high speed without compromising safety, performance or quality.

The demarcation between physical and digital spaces is becoming increasingly indistinct. The resulting combination is fostering a dynamic environment conducive to innovation. The first certification of an industrial product – the SINAMICS G220 – enables precise control and efficient operation of electrical drives in various applications – leveraging Siemens’ comprehensive digital twin is a compelling demonstration of the industrial metaverse’s potential to create unprecedented possibilities for product development and other engineering tasks.
