Automation Integration

Want to add automation or optimize your current fleet? Test AGV, AMR, or ASRS logic in Digital Twin Studio before you invest to know you're making the right decision.

Pick Path Analysis

Digital Twin Studio shows your automation heat maps, spaghetti diagrams, and congestion analysis.

New Automation Design

Building a new automation? Expanding or adding more racking? Test your layouts in Digital Twin Studio to see how different designs impact efficiency.

Validate Control Logic Before Implementation

Ensure your automation systems work flawlessly from day one. Digital Twin Studio® lets you simulate and prove out control logic before rollout, catching issues early and saving time and resources. Peace of mind has never been this accessible.

Uncover Buffering Issues and Optimize Equipment Interaction

Buffer overflows and equipment clashes slowing you down? Digital Twin Studio® lets you identify potential buffering problems, adjust conveyor speeds, and fine-tune equipment interactions before they impact your operations.

Optimize AGV/STV Paths and Intersection Behavior

Navigating complex pathways is a breeze. Use Digital Twin Studio® to find the optimal paths for your AGVs and STVs, and manage intersection behaviors efficiently. Reduce congestion and improve material handling like never before.

Perfect Merge Logic, Slug Lengths, and Priorities

Merging multiple lines without a hitch is easy in Digital Twin Studio®. Simulate and refine merge logic, adjust slug lengths, and set priorities to achieve seamless integration of processes and keep your production lines moving smoothly.

Optimize PLC Logic

Testing PLC logic on the floor can be risky. With Digital Twin Studio®, you can determine expected PLC behavior in a virtual setting, ensuring your control systems perform exactly as intended when deployed. Safe testing leads to successful implementations.

Analyze Robot Performance and Interactions

Managing multiple robots can be complex. Digital Twin Studio® performs in-depth robot analysis and can simulate interactions between multiple robots. Optimize their performance and coordination to boost efficiency and reduce collisions.

Simplify Capacity Planning and Scheduling

Planning for demand changes shouldn’t be stressful. Use Digital Twin Studio® for capacity planning and scheduling, ensuring you meet production targets without overextending resources. Stay agile and prepared for whatever comes your way.

Optimize Equipment Sizing with Spatial Awareness

Ensure your equipment fits perfectly from the start. Digital Twin Studio® offers a spatially aware environment that accurately models your facility’s dimensions, helping you size and place equipment with confidence. Optimize layouts, prevent costly miscalculations, and make the most of your space.
