Emulate3D Controls Testing
The Need for Virtual Commissioning of Automated Systems
Common to all automated material handling system (AMHS) projects is the challenge of commissioning, when the hardware first meets the control software, products are introduced into the system, and operators are trained in its correct operation. Emulate3D Controls Testing allows more comprehensive testing, earlier in the project cycle, and at a lower cost, than is possible using traditional techniques.

Each System is a Prototype
Despite the widespread use of standard components in automated systems, customer requirements make each one a prototype in need of thorough testing. Decisions taken at the design stage determine the cost of ownership, throughput, flexibility, and ease of use of the resulting system. Pre-production acceptance testing is the last minute confirmation of the quality of these decisions, when few modifications outside of the control system are possible.
