VIRTUAL COMMISSIONING OF A ROBOTIC CELL USING TECNOMATIX PROCESS SIMULATE

Abstract

The concept of Virtual Commissioning (VC) has become one of the most essential phases in the development and simulation of automated manufacturing processes. By creating a digital copy of the real system installment, companies have the ability to test out more complex scenarios with robots and complicated mechatronics design, greatly decreasing the startup time of the plant and shortening the product’s time to the market, while increasing the overall quality at the same time. This paper presents the core concepts of VC and all the required resources and technologies that are involved in the development of a state-of-the-art manufacturing process.
