Digital twin of the XYZ Cartesian Pick&Place

Key features:

- Ability to create or modify 3D models from the software library or from an import (CAD software) or 3D file formats
- Real-time model simulation
- Control identical to the real system
- Execution of the PLC program identical to the real system thanks to the use of a real PLC
- Modification of a program carried out as on the real machine using the SIEMENS TIA portal PLC programming software
- Connection to the PLC in reference VI26 (in addition to the machine's PLC) to operate the digital twin
- Ability to create faults on any sensor or actuator
- Use on PC or virtual reality headset
- Fully open and modifiable simulation (e.g., changing the position of sensors, adding an actuator or sensor)
- Ability to create your own simulations)
- Interactive simulations, allowing the user to grab and move objects in the 3D world.

Main uses:

- Training production operators. - Preliminary study/design of automated systems. - Programming machines before or during manufacture.- Remote program modification and/or mechanical modification (without access to the actual machine)
- Mechanical/program modification followed by modification testing, while avoiding system damage due to errors
- Program modification and/or mechanical modification while limiting production downtime
