Simulation & Virtual Commissioning for Manufacturers
Find the best design, not just a workable one
Changing a running line is a risk
Your team can see where the line’s falling short, but testing a fix means testing it on the only line you have. That usually means the change gets kicked down the road, or made without fully knowing if it’ll solve the problem.
And when the shutdown does happen, a slow restart carries a heavy cost in lost production time.
Engage Automation reduces the guesswork.
We explore many options in a working model to find the best design before you commit any capital. You keep the line running. We surface problems on screen, not on the floor.
From model to changeover
How we help depends on what kind of change you’re making.
Simulation &
Flow Study
Build a 3D model of your line to test layout, throughput, and find the best design before you invest a dollar.
Emulation
Drive the model with control logic so it behaves like the real system.
Virtual
Commissioning
Test and debug the actual PLC/HMI code against the model before anything is installed.
Integration
& Delivery
Engineer, program, build, and commission the physical line with the same team, start to finish.
Optimizing or upgrading the line
A simulation turns your potential changes into a working demonstration to sell upstream. Using our own software powered by Rockwell Automation’s Emulate3D, we test throughput, layout, and failure modes until the best design emerges. You know what works before you purchase a single component.
Retrofitting or replacing hardware
Before the shutdown starts, we build a model of your existing line, then run emulation to test the new control logic against it. The cutover is de-risked before you ever stop production.
Support that goes as far as you need
Some projects call for more than a validated design. We connect the model to your real control logic, so it behaves like the actual system. Virtual commissioning tests and debugs that code against the model, proving the control system before anything is installed. And from there, we can carry it through to physical commissioning.
One team, start to finish.
See what's possible before you commit capital.
The constraint you’ve been working around might feel unique to your line but it’s rarely a new issue. Two decades across tire and rubber, food and beverage, and material handling means we’ve seen the same failure points before, and we know which fixes hold.
That experience is backed by Ignition Gold Certified Integrator and Rockwell SI Silver credentials, including direct access to Rockwell’s technical specialists when something needs solving fast.
Let's test the change before you make it.
We are a control systems integrator that helps manufacturers and OEMs find the best design in simulation and prove it works, so problems surface on screen, not on the floor.
