INTRODUCTORY
In this section, we provide you with the latest updates on what we’re currently focusing on. You can look forward to news about our new projects and upcoming presentations, trends and developments in the field of industrial automation, as well as sharing our recent achievements. Don’t forget to check out our webinars, which we host regularly.
NEWS
TAURID is a partner of a professional seminar from the “Machine Safety” series, taking place on October 10th as part of MSV 2024 in Brno. Special attention will be given to modifications of machinery when expanding production or integrating robotic applications into existing production lines.
You can attend the seminar IN PERSON for FREE or follow the online broadcast for a fee of 800 CZK, with the option to replay the recording within the next 14 days.

We had the opportunity to present on the topic of Utilizing digital twins for virtual commissioning during the 2-day conference ‘Summer Days,’ organized by ControlTech and Rockwell Automation, which provide sales and support for Allen Bradley technology.
We have received an order for the supply of an MES for our long-standing customer in the automotive industry. Our solution has been operating reliably in a production plant in France for more than 10 years, and we are firmly convinced that the planned, upgraded version for the production plant in South Africa will be just as successful.
TRENDS & INNOVATION
Immerse Yourself in the World of Innovation and Digital Transformation
Discover how the latest technologies and modern approaches in automation and digitalization can take your business to the next level.
Virtual commissioning in the laboratory reduces the testing time of real systems, allows testing of production batches in an accelerated mode, tests combinations that rarely occur and are difficult to prepare in reality, and last but not least, reduces the psychological burden on employees responsible for commissioning equipment.

WEBINARS
For those interested, we will organize a seminar-webinar where our specialists will present the experiences they have gained while working with 3D digital twins.
We will show you how to create a digital model, how to connect it with the TIA Portal (Siemens) or Studio 5000 (Allen Bradley) development environments, and how the actual testing or virtual commissioning process works. Finally, we will demonstrate the benefits of applying a digital twin, what advantages it provides, and what costs to expect.
Seminar A – Designing a New or Modifying an Existing Production System
Typical customer requests and questions are:
- Safely verify the possibility of increasing production by 20% on the existing production system. What size of an intermediate buffer is necessary?
- Design the layout of a new production system and verify the planned production capacity. What advantage do we gain by preparing virtual commissioning using a digital twin?
- Why is it beneficial for us to have a dynamic production planning system?
- Do we need to identify semi-finished products, or is goal tracking sufficient?
Seminar B – Using Digital Twins for Virtual Commissioning
Typical projects and questions for virtual commissioning are::
- Event-based production systems with a complex logistics control layer
- Branched conveyor systems with buffers, warehouses, in-process buffers, robots, or AGVs
- Assembly lines and workplaces in the automotive industry
- Galvanizing and dip pickling lines
- Are the criteria for event allocation among manipulators on a shared track optimally designed?
Seminar C – Siemens RFID Technology for Industrial Identification
Typical projects and uses of Siemens RFID technology are::
- Authentication of operating personnel using RF1040 in conjunction with Simatic HMI
- Identification of handling hooks using RF260R, IO-Link interface, and MDS124 transponders
The webinar will take place if at least 3 participants express interest. Please provide your preferred date.
