Virtual commissioning and operator training with SIMIT

Clever combination: Testing and training of automation projects

Bringing products to the market faster while maintaining high quality requires integrated engineering workflows along with short changeover and start-up times. SIMIT Simulation Platform allows for comprehensive testing of automation applications and provides a realistic training environment for operators – even prior to plant startup. SIMIT creates opportunities for process optimization and know-how retention, leading to reduced commissioning time and significantly shortened time-to-market. The end result: greater efficiency throughout the entire life cycle of your manufacturing or process plant.
