As a doctoral candidate you will design and validate a simulation-tool-independent virtual commissioning (VC) framework for testing real-time control stacks and carrier-management middleware for linear-motor transport systems without physical hardware.You will classify and define the required fidelity of physical simulation models, ranging from high-level material flow representations to component-level physics, for diverse commissioning scenarios.Furthermore, you will derive quantitative mathematical metrics and experimental validation methodologies to characterize the behavioral equivalence between real and simulated systems.You will publish your findings in peer-reviewed journals and present them at scientific conferences.The final assignment of the doctoral research topic is determined by the supervising university, which serves as the central point of contact for the doctoral program.
