Digital Feeder - Digital twin and simulation of your feeding system

If you have chosen a feeder system from RNA, we offer you the unique added value of mapping your plant completely digitally – not statically, but dynamically! With our multiphysics simulation software Digital Feeder, we simulate the function of your plant in order to avoid cost- and time-intensive commissioning loops, which are common in feeding technology. Before the start of production, the sorting solutions we design can be tested by simulation, the optimum geometry of each individual sorting (tooling) can be determined, checked and approved. This makes RNA's feeding systems 100% digital and reproducible. The feeding system is equipped with material-specific toolings, which can be milled or printed. These toolings can thus be produced within a few days after simulation of the bulk material behaviour and changed within a few minutes - the digital twin of your feeding system!

Digital Motion – Tuning drives in the cloud

To ensure that the simulation has a very high congruence with reality, we have analysed the physics of vibration technology down to the smallest detail, modelled it mathematically and mapped it in our Digital Motion software. With the help of Digital Motion, you are in a position to map every RNA drive digitally in its entirety in order to match drives to the sorting rails/tooling or accumulation rails you use even before they are produced – from the angle of attack of the leaf springs to the balancing mass. This means that the balancing of the drive unit and rail segments can be mapped 100% digitally and valuable time can be saved during commissioning. This gives you certainty about the functionality of the identified solution at an early stage in the project. Digital Motion is not only available to us but also to all our customers, so that you too can benefit from RNA's digital solutions and gain a competitive advantage.
