Factory Test to Validate Automation Systems Before Deployment

Rockwell Automation, Inc. debuted its new Emulate3D Factory Test capabilities, which helps food and beverage manufacturers conduct factory acceptance testing to validate automation systems before deployment.

“Manufacturers need scalable, high-fidelity digital twins to optimize system performance and accelerate commissioning times,” says Matheus Bulho, SVP, software and control, Rockwell Automation. “With the launch of Emulate3D Factory Test, we’re providing a solution that allows engineering teams to test, iterate and validate automation systems at full factory scale – leveraging the power of NVIDIA Omniverse to deliver unprecedented visualization and collaboration capabilities.” 

Key takeaways:

• Factory Test features a modular modeling approach, enabling teams to build, verify and combine mechanical, electrical, controls, process, robotics and device behavior models into a unified digital twin.  
• Key capabilities include multi-model orchestration; modern DevOps workflows; test runner; fault framework; and advanced full-factory visualization.
