Systems and Control Innovation Lab (SCIL)

TechLab – space for test benches and the SCIL innovation laboratory
The TechLab at the Institute of System Dynamics and Control in Oberpfaffenhofen houses various test benches and the Systems Control and Innovation Lab (SCIL).

INDUSTRY PARTNERS FOR THE DIGITAL TWIN AND VIRTUAL PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

The SCIL - an innovation laboratory of the DLR Institute of System Dynamics and Control - works with partners from industry to analyse complex issues in the field of digital twins and virtual product development. It also supports companies in developing their own expertise in the field of simulation. The initial effort usually pays off quickly for the partners in terms of time and cost savings, as many aspects of the product life cycle - from planning and assembly to commissioning and ongoing operation - can be optimised virtually.

The areas of expertise of the Systems and Control Innovation Lab (SCIL) include:

  • Virtual commissioning and physically accurate plant simulators
  • Modelling and multiphysical system simulation
  • Advanced control methods, optimisation and artificial intelligence
  • Real-time visualisation
  • Driving/flight and dynamic simulations on motion platforms
