Designers at SMEs can benefit from a simple and intuitive interface that combines a digital twin, a highly detailed virtual model of a physical object (like a delta, linear, or multi-axis robot), and a 3D VR environment to enable direct execution and checking of the robot’s movement sequences.
These features support fine-tuning and optimisation of the automation system, even without any physical hardware, and enables rapid exploration of multiple solutions.
Digital twins and VR are complementary technologies using different visualisation forms, interactions, and hardware.
