Together with his supervisor <a href=\"http:\/\/melanieschranz.com\/\">Melanie Schranz<\/a> &#8211; at that time teaching and research staff member at NES &#8211; he explored the <a href=\"https:\/\/unity3d.com\/de\">Unity<\/a> game engine as a simulation framework for camera networks and developed a simulator prototype. He completed his bachelor thesis entitled &#8220;Smart Camera Network Simulator in January 2015 which was also presented as a <a href=\"https:\/\/dl.acm.org\/citation.cfm?id=2802653\">demo paper<\/a> at the International Conference on Distributed Smart Cameras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With support from KWF, build and Lakeside Labs, Michael Gruber continued working on exploring Unity as a simulation environment &#8211; but now in an industrial context. The key objective was to develop a virtual version of production lines which can be easily composed and modified. The key benefit of this &#8220;digital twin&#8221;, as Gruber calls the developed virtual production line, is its flexibility. Customers can quickly check the functionality and assess changes and expansions of their production facilities with high accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone wp-image-7182 size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nes.aau.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Sensolligent1-300x223.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7182\"\/><figcaption>Michael Gruber surrounded by his core team Martin Hrast, Stefano Probst, Ferdinand K\u00f6ppen in his new office at Lakeside Park.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In February 2018 Michael Gruber officially launched his startup company <a href=\"http:\/\/sensolligent.com\/\">Sensolligent<\/a> with a staff of five people and first orders from the wood industries.
