Virtual commissioning of custom automation lines
Shorter Sales Cycles
- Demonstrating productivity gains early through a full simulation of the future automation line, compared to the current situation, increases customer engagement and speeds up their buying decision.
Cost Savings
- Physical commissioning is costly for both your automation company and your customers. Every day saved during real commissioning positively impacts operational margins and reduces the immobilization of your customer's production facility.
- Identifying and resolving issues in the virtual environment helps avoid modifications and downtime during physical commissioning.
Improved System Validation
- Customers can validate the performance and functionality of their automation systems in a virtual space, ensuring all components work as intended.
- Virtual commissioning allows better collaboration between your project team and your customers, as they can access and review the virtual model from different locations.
- It enables easy modifications and optimizations, allowing customers to experiment with different configurations and scenarios without the constraints of physical equipment.
Reduced Time to Market
- Implementing, testing, and debugging full automation lines before physical installation significantly shortens project timelines. Software teams can work independently of lead times from parts suppliers.
- For variants of your existing solutions, it often eliminates the costly step of in-house commissioning.
Enhanced Safety
- Testing safety equipment of automation systems in a virtual environment reduces the risk of accidents and hazards during physical testing at real commissioning.
