Simulator

Discrete event simulation integrated with a native 3D virtual environment

Native 3D environment

Every system element — machines, robots, material handling — animated in real time and synchronized with the simulation engine.

Headless mode

Run without graphical rendering at maximum speed to compare dozens of scenarios and find the optimal configuration quickly.

Modular architecture

Control logics organized in independent Java modules, synchronized via events and signals on a shared simulation timeline.

TTS 3D ecosystem

The virtual environment model is shared with Supervisor, Machine.NC and Virtual Commissioning — no duplication, full consistency.

Simulator bridges the gap between traditional discrete event simulation tools and full 3D virtual commissioning platforms. It uniquely combines discrete event simulation with native 3D visualization in a single, unified environment.

Every resource in the manufacturing system — CNC machines, robots, conveyor systems, automated warehouses — is represented and animated in the 3D environment in real time, synchronized with the simulation logic. Engineering teams can validate layouts and operational strategies with immediate visual clarity, and communicate results effectively to non-technical stakeholders.

When quantitative optimization is the goal, Simulator automatically switches to headless mode: the same control logic runs at maximum speed without any graphical rendering, enabling rapid exploration of dozens of configurations to pinpoint the optimal setup.

Value across the full lifecycle

From the first commercial proposal to plant reconfiguration, Simulator delivers measurable value at every phase of the manufacturing process.

Pre-Sales

Documented feasibility analysis, rapid scenario comparison and cycle time estimation before any physical plant exists — providing a solid technical foundation for commercial proposals.

Design

Layout validation, optimal sizing of machines, buffers and operators, material flow analysis. The simulation model drives design decisions and eliminates costly physical iterations.

Commissioning

The model provides the expected performance baseline. Integrated with Virtual Commissioning, it becomes the environment where real PLC code is tested and validated before physical start-up.

Operation

Integrated with real-time data via OPC-UA and MQTT, it feeds the operational Digital Twin: OEE monitoring, delivery forecasting, full product traceability across the production line.

Optimization

What-if scenarios on a twin calibrated on real data: product mix changes, bottleneck identification, energy consumption reduction, AI-driven prescriptive optimization.

Reconfiguration

When products, demand or technology change, the Digital Twin becomes a safe sandbox to validate new layouts, new robotic cells and new automation code before touching the real plant.

Simulator powers the plant simulation solution and, like all products in the TTS 3D family, shares and reuses the virtual environment model across different applications.
