THE IMPACT OF VIRTUAL WORLDS ON THE BUSINESS SUCCESS OF TOMORROW'S INDUSTRY

Join us in Hall 17 stand E16 to discover how Virtual Twins experiences is meeting the demands of the industrial landscape. 


Manufacturers are increasingly integrating virtual environments to simulate production lines, drive innovation, reduce commissioning time and leverage their operational data for continuous improvements. With the 3DEXPERIENCE platform as a Business Platform, businesses will not only be able to innovate new sustainable products and experiences. They will also tighten relationships with their entire value network, capitalize on knowledge and know-how to empower their workforce, in order to ensure a sustainable growth.

Autonomation beyond human abilities, with OMRON

The Smart Factory of the Future Today helping manufacturers realize flexible, efficient & sustainable production sites maximizing human potential.

Realize flexible, sustainable and efficient production for the smart factory of the future:

  • Meet changing consumer needs with an agile and scalable solution
  • Ensure efficiency, quality and traceability
  • Relieve workers from strenuous and heavy tasks and respond to labour scarcity

Flexible Assembly line combining

  • Autonomous, fixed and & collaborative robotics
  • Fast & Flexible Part Picking in a Multi-product Process (3D recognition of wide-ranging parts)
  • AI sensory inspections that replaces the craftsmanship and sensitivity of experienced workers


Virtual Line Development

See how our Plant Layout, Factory Flow Simulation & Equipment Design solutions help manufacturers design their factories, adapt existing facilities, create new ones and validate them early on thanks to their Virtual Twins.

Plant Layout

  • Re-use existing or new layout 2D drawings to start the 3D layout definition
  • Place & accommodate manufacturing resources from company catalogs to speed-up the line definition

Flow Simulation

  • Simulate the material flow in the factory during operations
  • Validate line performances, identify and solve potential bottlenecks, while building comprehensive reports

Equipment Design

  • Configure equipment for simulation, by defining joints & command values on kinematics
  • Simulate all kinds of resources: mobile robots, conveyors, cobots, etc.


Virtual Line Commissioning

Leverage the power of Virtual Commissioning to validate the controller logic of a line in the Virtual Twin, with Software in the Loop or Hardware in the Loop.

Virtual Commissioning

  • Validate machine & line behavior through a virtual PLC embedded in the Virtual Twin of the factory
  • Test the controller logic, with either external software in the loop or parts of the physical hardware in the loop

Virtual Commissioning with the Fleet Management Software

  • Validate the behavior of the line, including the fleet of AMRs, by connecting the Virtual Twin of the factory to the Fleet Management Software of the equipment

Real-time, Multi-Physics Simulation

  • Simulate the physics-accurate behavior of robots in real time using a best-in-class dynamic, multi-physics simulation tool


​​​​​​​Line Monitoring

Gain real-time, full visibility on the running operations of the shop floor thanks to our Control Tower. Harness the data from the running equipment, including the feel of AMRs, to feed a connected Virtual Twin.

Control Tower with Operations Experience

  • Compare the planned operations of the factory to the real-time running ones, contextualized and projected onto the 4D Virtual Twin.
  • Navigate past operational data and project into the future 


​​​​​​​Line Management

Manage the daily manufacturing operations of the line with full traceability, and real-time visibility on the resources. React to unforeseen events on the shop floor quickly & efficiently to keep production running.

Manufacturing Operations Management 

  • Manage the daily operations of the factory on a unified Execution System
  • Launch and monitor daily production orders with full traceability

Issue Identification and Reactive Maintenance 

  • Quickly identify manufacturing problems or issues with running equipment
  • Swiftly react to correct the unforeseen events


​​​​​​​Line Maintenance

Use the power of Augmented Reality to streamline the execution of complex maintenance tasks​​​​​​​.

Augmented Experience of Maintenance

  • Real-time visualization of Augmented Reality content on top of physical products to minimize risk of error and accelerate operator learning curve, while collecting relevant operational data.


Line Analysis

Leverage past operational data and Artificial Intelligence to predict future equipment failure before it happens.

Predictive Maintenance

  • Visualized the past, harnessed data coming from the field on a Data Analytics Cockpit
  • Use Machine Learning on that data to predict future equipment breakdowns and act before they happen
