Virtual Commissioning

Virtual Commissioning

Optimize your automation systems and debug PLC programming in a virtual environment

Today’s highly automated and flexible manufacturing systems are all controlled by programmable logic controller (PLC) programs that include sophisticated tooling, robots, transfer lines and other safety equipment. PLC programming allows manufactures to alter production lines without having to completely retool the entire facility. However, whenever changes are made, engineers still have to stop the production for an extended period of time while they debug the PLC programs against live equipment.

With Tecnomatix virtual commissioning solutions, you can debug your PLC codes on a virtual environment before downloading them to real equipment. By simulating and validating your automation equipment virtually, you can confirm that they will work as expected and significantly reduce system startup time.
