Commission smarter and launch faster

Minimize costly rework and downtime while accelerating project delivery through virtual commissioning with the real PLC and production-ready control logic.

Integrated manufacturing environment

Validate and optimize end-to-end manufacturing processes in a single virtual environment, enabling teams to identify issues earlier, improve production readiness, and reduce commissioning risk.

Accelerate manufacturing readiness

Streamline manufacturing planning and execution by virtually validating and optimizing discrete operations and continuous motion processes before production begins, reducing rework and speeding time to launch.

Featured capabilities

Spot welding

Design, validate, and simulate spot welding and discrete manufacturing with dedicated tools and manufacturing feature management. Optimize robotic welding using automatic approach angle optimization, weld gun libraries, and interference detection. Import and manage manufacturing features or connect to Teamcenter for integrated PLM and a synchronized production digital twin.
