An error simulator was developed for the construction of a roadshow at the TH Wildau. With the help of the demo case, errors that influence the process can be set. This allows topics such as energy monitoring, predictive maintenance or automated order picking to be addressed in a practical way. In the field of teaching and research, the simulator is used to prepare studies on human-machine interactions and further projects such as the development of digital twins.
