Transform what’s Possible in Design with Digital Twin Software

Changing demands in a fast-paced workplace has demonstrated the need for a more agile design process.

End users are seeking ways to test new designs of their automated systems, offline and earlier in the project lifecycle, to reduce risks and potential rework. With Emulate3D™ digital twin software, users can identify potential control issues preemptively, saving valuable time and resources during implementation. Plant personnel receive additional support by having a virtual space to train on new systems, predict future performance, and simulate line changes without real-world consequences. Emulate3D digital twin software provides a comprehensive and dynamic approach to enhancing efficiency and precision in industrial operations.

Our digital twin software can help you:

  • Reimagine the design process by using virtual design and prototyping
  • Establish early connections between your machinery and control systems, helping to resolve operational and sequencing issues before on-site deployment 
  • Improve production by employing faster-than-realtime 3D simulation to help you identify optimal design layouts and configurations

Introducing Emulate3D Factory Test

Enterprise-scale digital twins unlock new possibilities for virtual controls testing

Emulate3D® Factory Test™ demonstrates how the solution enables factory-scale virtual controls testing, helping manufacturers conduct Factory Acceptance Testing to validate automation systems before deployment. Emulate3D Factory Test is integrated with NVIDIA Omniverse™ APIs and OpenUSD, redefining digital twin technology with high-fidelity simulation and real-time collaboration.

Emulate3D Factory Test key capabilities include:

  • Multi-model orchestration. Synchronizing multiple system models for factory-scale testing.
  • Modern DevOps workflows. Streamlining version control, testing and deployment while allowing all stakeholders to work from the latest version, track changes in real time and maintain alignment across teams.
  • Test Runner. Enabling repeatable, automated testing at scale.
  • Fault Framework. Simulating fault conditions to assess system resilience.
  • Advanced full-factory visualization. Powered by NVIDIA Omniverse APIs, initially available via private preview.

The Automation Design Lifecycle Reimagined

By incorporating digital twin software, customers can help reduce and resolve challenges more efficiently.

See what customers are saying about Emulate3D Digital Twin Software

  • RidgeTech Automation
    Emulate3D has quickly become the most important tool we have in our digital services offering. The power to show our clients how their facilities will run during the design phase of a project is invaluable. On top of that, the ability to virtually commission a line before the equipment is physically assembled has reduced start up times immensely. We could not imagine life without Emulate3D.
    Ian MacMillan – RidgeTech Automation
  • Indicon
    Emulate3D is a godsend! It allows us to build a digital twin of our system, and the environment to perform virtual commissioning with the PLC code to deliver a true turnkey solution for our customers. With Emulate3D, we can test the code extensively, solve issues, slashing commissioning time in the field, and allow customers to start production as soon as possible. Emulate3D is also a great training and marketing tool.
    Cathryn Yong – Indicon Corporation
  • Infinity
    Our use of Emulate3D advances time-to-market for our customers. We model our system proposals and save time with the virtual commissioning features. What’s more is that we use these Emulate3D models for immersive, virtual reality-based training and design reviews for our customers.
    Doug Wegner - Infinity Machine & Engineering Corp
  • JR AUTOMATION A Hitachi Group Company logo
    We leverage Rockwell Emulate3D to virtually commission our robotic systems and custom-automated solutions. The enhancements and functionality of Emulate3D has made virtual commissioning practical. We utilize the pre-made catalogs, wiring diagram and our own internally developed catalogs and tools, to allow users to quickly build up a system. This makes setting up an Emulation for virtual commissioning, efficient and not require high expertise or knowledge.
