Why Process Simulate X Standard? 

Process Simulate X Standard builds upon Essentials by adding full robotic programming and a complete virtual commissioning toolset to simulate, validate and optimize workcells and full production lines using real PLC programs before physical deployment. Using Process Simulate X Standard, you can:  

  • Plan motion paths, optimize cycle times and run realistic robot simulation 
  • Create and test robot programs directly with offline programming controllers 
  • Validate workcell and line installation using real PLC logic and control programs 
  • Detect collisions and validate operations using 2D/3D sectioning
  • Review and analyze workcells with anyone, anywhere

Validated production processes

Validate integrated mechanical and electrical production processes early, including PLCs and robotics, using virtual commissioning to catch integration issues before deployment and minimize costly downtime.

Increased process quality

Increase process quality by emulating realistic processes throughout the entire process lifecycle, from early design through production, catching issues before they impact the physical line.

Optimized cycle times

Optimize cycle times by simulating robot motions, reach and collision-free paths before deployment, fine-tuning sequences and timing in the digital world to maximize throughput and minimize costly shop floor adjustments.

Featured capabilities

Robotic programming and simulation

Download, upload and optimize complete robot programs in the digital world. Simplify the synchronization of multiple robots using advanced tools such as the cyclic event evaluator and emulated robot controllers, while leveraging motion planning, collision detection, and cycle-time optimization capabilities.
