The 3D manufacturing simulation software
Plan your factory of the future with Visual Components
Why you should use Visual Components for factory simulation
Visual Components is one of the leading and most powerful factory and robot simulation software on the market. And there are many reasons for that:
One platform for all simulation tasks
The 3D simulation software Visual Components can be used in many different ways. Common areas of application are:
- Plant planning
- Layout planning
- Virtual commissioning
- Digital twin
- Material flow simulation
- Robot simulation
- Robot programming / Offline programming (OLP)
Cost-effective and quick start
With three expansion levels and a flexible licensing model, Visual Components is scalable and can grow with your requirements. A 1-2 day basic training course by DUALIS also ensures that you get up to speed quickly. This allows you to start small, achieve results quickly and, if required, upgrade to a higher expansion level at any time, purchase further licences and/or add further DUALIS services.
Over 3,000 factory components
With more than 3,000 pre-built, simulation-ready factory components, the Visual Components eCatalog contains an extensive library of virtual models with over 1,600 robots from more than 70 manufacturers, and a wide range of conveyors, machines, production equipment, robot accessories, factory equipment and more. This allows you to design your any manufacturing layout virtually and in great detail.
High-resolution image and video material
With Visual Components you can prepare professional quotation and marketing documents in 3D by simply exporting and integrating the 3D simulations created in the form of high-resolution images, videos or animations. This allows you to present complex interrelationships in a visually appealing way and convince your customers with a unique presentation of their capabilities.
Permanent further development
The 3D simulation software is continuously developed further. Thus, with 1 to 2 releases per year, new and sought-after functions are regularly available to users.
In addition, we are constantly developing new add-ons that are compatible with Visual Components, with the aim of perfectly complementing and further simplifying the application. With our Statistics Module, for example, you receive a much more detailed evaluation of your simulations or, with the support of our AGV library, you can plan driverless transport systems better, simulate them in greater detail and evaluate them more efficiently.
Usable across departments
The application of the Visual Components 3D simulation platform is particularly suitable for:
- Technical sales
- Project planning
- Engineering / construction
- Robot programming (OLP/OEM)
By accessing existing work results across departments, planning and simulation experts can significantly reduce their workload. This saves costs and time in the project and in ongoing operations.
How you benefit from 3D simulation
More planning and investment security
Gain more control over your processes and resources and make better decisions by designing and validating your manufacturing concepts in detail in 3D.
Less costly
errors
Test your manufacturing concepts and plants as part of virtual commissioning – without disrupting ongoing operations – and shorten commissioning and project lead times.
Better Sales
opportunities
With valid figures and high-resolution images, animations and videos, you can create attractive offers without security surcharges and present your customers with solutions that are inspiring and easy to understand.
What our users say
Nikolaus Szlavik
Managing Director, PIA Automation Austria GmbH
More than 2,400 companies from the manufacturing industry worldwide already rely on Visual Components’ solutions for the planning and simulation of their manufacturing concepts. In combination with our know-how in the implementation of the software, our useful add-ons and individual adaptations, our customers achieve even more transparency as well as planning and investment security. This results in error reduction as well as time and cost savings in project planning and ongoing operation.
The Visual Components product family: flexible and scalable
The perfect solution for your specific needs
No matter for what purpose you want to use Visual Components the product family offers the right expansion level for your specific needs. The 3D simulation platform was developed specifically for the production industry and is based on an efficient, flexible and scalable platform. This allows you to start small, achieve results quickly and grow successively with your simulation projects.
