The VESCON Group will be showcasing its Virtual Engineering solutions at booth 218 in hall A4 at automatica 2023 in Munich as part of international automation platform SCIO Automation. In addition to Virtual Commissioning, these include 360° collaboration software SO3, which is used to make project engineering and management simpler for plant engineering projects.

It has been part of international corporate platform SCIO Automation since 2019 as a founding member, and will be presenting part of its portfolio at a trade fair for the first time at a joint stand (A4, 218) at automatica.

"We’ve been supporting our customers from various industries in plant engineering and automation on their journey to Industry 4.0 for 30 years now. In the robotics and automation environment, in addition to our integration services, it’s our virtual engineering solutions for digital transformation in particular that greatly appeal to our customers," said Dr. Ulrich Reiser, Chief Digital Officer.

VESCON will present two Virtual Engineering solutions to the automatica trade audience:

Virtual Commissioning has already been successfully used by VESCON in its plant projects for several years, ensuring that on-site commissioning is done on time and on budget. VESCON uses several virtual commissioning software packages from different developers to allow them to offer a customized response to customer needs and requirements. Virtual commissioning has now become a crucial part of VESCON offering’s, paving the way for additional digitalization projects in the company such as the Digital Twin, which has already been successfully developed in initial customer projects.

SO3 cloud software is the 360° collaboration solution for sophisticated project engineering and management. It helps companies in the plant engineering sector to increase production by up to 50 percent and reduce project costs by up to 40 percent. As a centralized communication platform, it not only combines the project data for all trades in one place in real time, no matter where they are, but it also presents the project status, as well as electrical and mechanical data in a visual layout. Each project participant can create, view and edit their individual tasks and is in direct contact with all other relevant participants. This enables the entire plant engineering project to be seamlessly managed on a single, powerful, collaborative platform.

VESCON will be appearing alongside other brands from the SCIO Automation Group at automatica.

Companies like 4am Robotics, with its mobile and application-specific robotics solutions, as well as PrintoLUX with its patented PrintoLUX marking process including its latest printing system development for industrial applications, known as SIGNO, will also be on hand to wow the audience.
