Virtual Engineering as a consulting service by ERT Solutions

Virtual Engineering

With virtual engineering, you make investment decisions securely, data-driven, and without surprises.

We analyze your manufacturing processes and infrastructure and take you on the Road to Automation. Through simulation, material flow simulation, and 3D layout planning, digital twins of your future production are created. Together, we identify bottlenecks, validate concepts, and optimize processes - before the first machine, mobile manipulator, or humanoid robot is put into operation.

The result: Lower risk, lower costs, and faster implementation of your smart factory.

Virtual Engineering

Maximum security
for your investments

Virtual Engineering gives you the certainty that traditional planning cannot provide. By virtually simulating your production, you can identify bottlenecks and inefficient processes early on before costs arise. Decisions are no longer based on assumptions, but on realistic simulations. This allows you to avoid poor planning and significantly reduce risks.

Virtual Engineering

From the idea to your autonomous factory

With virtual engineering, you develop your factory not in the dark, but with a clear basis for decision-making. Together we test scenarios, compare variants, and obtain reliable key figures for your investment.

At the same time, visual simulations create a shared understanding across all stakeholders. The result: faster decisions and smooth implementation of your smart factory.

Plant-readiness Consulting

Plant-Readiness Consulting creates the foundation for a successful and scalable production environment. We take all process data and infrastructure-specific Data and discuss your goals together, such as skills shortage, increasing efficiency, increasing output, etc. 

Planning of Smart Factory Projects

3D point cloud for digital twin by ERT Solutions

We log the actual situation as a 3D model by capturing all relevant physical information via 3D scan (hall columns, pipelines, passages, doors, stairs, etc.). This digital twin of your existing production environment serves as the basis for further planning.  

Material Flow Simulation

Based on production rates, process times, and machine data, we model your material flow as well as the movements of mobile robots using simulation software. Production and logistics processes are mapped as a digital model and linked with relevant parameters such as storage capacities, process times, and setup times. This enables bottlenecks to be identified at an early stage, the required number of mobile robots to be dimensioned, and various scenarios to be evaluated. This creates a sound basis for planning and securing production and logistics systems efficiently.

3D Layout & Robot Simulation

Using virtual 3D layouts of your factory environment, including machines, warehouses, and robots, we design, analyze, and optimize production processes reliably and realistically. Among other things, we test gripper reaches, accessibility for mobERTs, cycle times, and other process-relevant factors. Through realistic visualizations and animations, you can experience your future smart factory even before implementation, make well-founded decisions, and reduce risks for your future investment decisions.

Virtual Commissioning

Virtual commissioning of smart factory solutions by ERT Solutions
With Virtual Commissioning, we shift the commissioning of PLC controls and robots into the digital world and bring your automation projects to production maturity faster. We test and optimize the controls and processes realistically in a digital environment before mobile manipulators or smart factory systems are actually commissioned. This ensures significantly faster and error-free commissioning.

Safety Engineering

With our safety engineering, we combine our in-house expertise in mechanical and electrical manufacturing as well as software and high-level language development with our comprehensive safety and compliance knowledge. We create technical documentation and risk assessments, and fulfill all regulatory requirements (CE conformity) with efficient implementation.

Virtual Engineering

Your secure step
towards greater efficiency

With Virtual Engineering, you do not start your transformation with risk, but with clarity. Through realistic simulations, you can see early on what works and gain the certainty you need for your next decisions.

We accompany you from the initial idea to the validated solution and create a solid basis for subsequent implementation.

Start with a first, manageable step and let us develop a scalable, connected production together.

You are in good company
