aerOS Pilot 1 Scenario 3 – Current aerOS developments

/0 Comments/in /by

The goal of aerOS Pilot 1 Scenario 3 use case is to establish a versatile production system distinguished by modularity, efficiency, and adaptability to dynamic manufacturing conditions. This integration is facilitated through aerOS decentralized intelligence and communication technology, complemented by Siemens cloud systems services known as SIMATIC Industrial EDGE.

In this video we show the current development of aerOS in our use case and the different tools used in it, such as SIMATIC SIMOVE ANS+ or Behaviour Trees.
