A custom machine cannot simply be built and hoped to work. Simulate & Validate for Special Purpose Machinery (SPM) equips your engineering teams to prove structure, motion, cycle time, controls and safety before a single part is fabricated.
Simulate & Validate for SPM brings together structural validation, motion validation, cycle simulation, virtual commissioning and safety validation, the checks that confirm a machine will perform as intended under real operating conditions. Structural validation confirms frames, fixtures and moving assemblies withstand real loads and duty cycles. Motion validation, cycle simulation and virtual commissioning together prove that movement, throughput and control logic behave as required, while safety validation confirms that guarding and control logic protect operators under real fault conditions.
The result: a machine validated end to end, with fewer surprises during commissioning and a defensible record of proof for every stakeholder who needs it.
Prove controls and sequences before site commissioning
Virtual Commissioning validates PLC code, robot programs, HMI workflows and I/O behaviour against a digital machine model, so control logic is proven before hardware arrives. By running sequences, safety interlocks and fault scenarios in the twin, we find logic errors, timing mismatches and interlock gaps early, saving costly on‑site debugging and schedule risk.
This approach ensures safety functions, robot handshakes and recovery paths work as intended and produces FAT‑ready issue logs and corrective actions, so commissioning becomes verification rather than troubleshooting.
Connect digital machine model to PLC, robot, motion and HMI logic.
Test sensors, cylinders, drives, robots, fixtures, safety and inspection I/O.
Exercise automatic, manual, setup, maintenance, reset and recovery modes.
Simulate blocked parts, clamp or sensor failures, low air and E‑stop recovery.
Verify interlocks, safe‑state transitions and fault‑response behaviour.
Confirm robot paths, timing and machine handshake reliability.
Deliver issue logs, corrective actions and commissioning checklists.
