Mitsubishi Electric Automation releases new 3D simulator software
Summary
By connecting to a variety of software and factory devices, Gemini provides visualization, simulation, and the streamlining of work processes. Gemini operates using a PC-based 3D digital space and connects directly to factory devices without having to go through an OPC server. As engineers use the software for their verification purposes, they can test and debug the automation logic for machines and systems, as well as check the operation of the planned production facility prior to construction. As their projects advance into operation and maintenance phases, engineers can quickly identify the causes of abnormal occurrences in their production line using logged data to step through and review the error event on the synchronized 3D model, PLC sequence monitor, waveform display, and/or video data. Lee Cheung, associate product manager at Mitsubishi Electric Automation, says: “The manufacturing sector is seeing an increase in demand for digital transformation within factories.
