Test First. Simulate Early. Perform better. – Virtual engineering for Automation

Increasing complexity, shorter development cycles, and limited resources are driving the need for a fundamental shift in machine engineering. Testing and simulation must be established as core engineering disciplines to ensure quality continuously, reproducibly, and independently of real hardware.

This white paper demonstrates how a structured approach combining standardized PLC code, automated functional and safety testing, simulation-based validation, and Digital Twins helps identify and mitigate risks at an early stage. Learn how virtual commissioning, digital machine models, and AI-powered engineering approaches improve engineering quality, reduce project risks, and pave the way for faster and more reliable time-to-market.
