On May 15, the "Siemens CNC System Digital Twin and Programming Operation Application Training," jointly organized by Sino-German Dongliang and Siemens, was successfully held. The training focused on Siemens' globally leading CNC system (SINUMERIK), combining theory with practice to create a platform for technical advancement and exchange among manufacturing professionals, educators, and students. This initiative aims to accelerate industry digital transformation and cultivate high-skilled talent.
Comprehensive Training Content with Hands-On Focus
The training covered four core modules: introduction to Siemens CNC digital twins, milling applications and operations of Siemens CNC systems, G-code-based conversational programming (program GUIDE), and comprehensive milling case studies. Siemens instructors simplified complex technical concepts through theoretical explanations, case analyses, and live demonstrations, enabling participants to quickly grasp key skills.
Hybrid Online-Offline Model Expands Reach
Adopting a hybrid format, the training broke geographical barriers and broadened knowledge dissemination. The online session, livestreamed via Shandong Dongliang Technology Equipment Co., Ltd.’s TikTok account, attracted nearly 600 viewers with active engagement in the comments. Offline, 20 free hands-on seats were offered, allowing trainees to practice on the DLIM-853 Intelligent Manufacturing Engineering Application Platform, which simulates real industrial scenarios.
DLIM-853 Platform: A Robust Support for Smart Manufacturing Training
The DLIM-853 platform combines "full-process intelligence, modular design, virtual-physical integration, and industrial-grade configuration." It provides highly realistic smart manufacturing training environments for educational institutions while fostering problem-solving skills through open architectures aligned with industry standards.
