Tecnomatix Process Simulate Commissioning enables users to streamline the existing manufacturing and engineering data from conceptual design down to the shop floor. Process Simulate Commissioning supplies a common integration platform for the various disciplines participating in real commissioning of a production zone/cell (mechanical and electrical). Using Process Simulate Commissioning, users can simulate real PLC code with the actual hardware using OPC and the actual robot programs, thus enabling the most realistic virtual commissioning environment.
During the ramp-up of production lines, as well as in the machine building and digital special machine building business, time to ramp-up and risk of error have become crucial factors. Repeated manual input of the same data throughout the design and programming process, a potentially high source of errors, can be avoided by implementing Process Simulate Commissioning's seamless path from process design to shop-floor automation.
Process Simulate Commissioning enables you to generate optimized PLC programs to the shop floor. As part of the Tecnomatix portfolio of manufacturing solutions, Process Simulate Commissioning allows engineers to design manufacturing cells, digital special machines and processes in a 3D virtual environment and then introduce control information into that virtual environment. The system automatically generates a PLC code, which can be simulated and verified before it is downloaded to the PLC on the shop floor. By moving the testing and commissioning process from the shop floor onto the control engineer's desktop, Process Simulate Commissioning accelerates the planning and engineering process, the commissioning phase, and production ramp-up.
