Validate PLC logic, robot behavior, and process interactions in a virtual environment before real commissioning begins.
Virtual commissioning (VC) is the simulation-based validation of automation systems before they are deployed in the real environment. It allows testing of PLC logic, robot programs, and system behavior using a digital twin of the production system.
What this means in practice:
This section shows how real controls and a soft PLC connect with a virtual production environment and how RF::SUITE tools support robot control, electrical behavior, and mechanical validation.
Warum Virtual Commissioning?
Virtual commissioning creates transparency early on, reduces risks, and makes real production startup more predictable, efficient, and independent of the physical system.
Virtual Commissioning is especially effective in projects where multiple systems, interfaces, and commissioning dependencies create high risk during startup.
Validate robot interaction, handshakes, sequences, and exception handling before real hardware is fully available.
Simulate complete line behavior, timing, and communication across stations to reduce risk during ramp-up.
Test individual machine logic, sequences, and edge cases early when unique engineering solutions are involved.
Check changes in logic and interfaces before touching existing production systems with limited downtime windows.
Discuss your use case, validate your automation logic earlier, and reduce surprises before physical startup begins.
