Acquire Industry 4.0 skills: Free virtual commissioning training for automation engineers

The proliferation of software, electronics, and PLCs in production systems renders virtual commissioning knowledge a highly sought competency. Please check out the previous blog to learn more about multi-physics machine automation and virtual commissioning.

According to the German association of machine tool builders research, the commissioning process accounts for 25% of the machine development time. The time spent purely on debugging automation and control logic during the commissioning phase is phenomenal 15-18%. Virtual commissioning permits machine manufacturers to commission machines early, safely, and eliminate any unexpected delay at the crucial stage of the project.

Have you ever had problems delivering a machine on time?

Did you ever struggle to reach the machine performance your customer required?

Do you want to make sure to have the best PLC controls possible before you go to the shop-floor?

Try virtual commissioning training for free

Manufacturing companies’ can now explore and experience virtual commissioning for free. No download or installation or access fee is required. With the SIMATIC automation software and Simcenter Amesim software on the cloud platform, you can practice virtual commissioning on your PC.
