Digital engineering
Development processes can be accelerated by parallelizing work steps. The early development of software functions on simulation models enables you to bring forward work steps and commission your system completely virtually. This minimizes costs and increases quality.
Benefit from the model-based approach with HEITEC
Conventional process
- Linear / sequential development
- No common database
- High error costs possible
- Later testing of the interaction
- No cross-disciplinary quality gates

VIBN is a simulation method in which the control system is linked to a simulation model of the component, machine, or system.
Advantages of digital engineering
- Reduction of costs
- No real test parts
- Risk-free tests
