SIMULATION AND VISUALIZATION SYSTEM FOR SENSOR AND ACTUATOR DATA GENERATION

The evolution of automation systems has reached a point where the increasing complexity requires new mechanisms to keep control of design and operation. In future all control systems will have to cope with massive data quantities that are collected from the environment. Such systems have to react based on the recognition of whole scenarios. In this paper we present a simulation tool, which is able to generate big amounts of sensor data in an animated, virtual environment. This data is used by two different systems to verify their accuracy.
