Learn how ProtoTwin can help your business optimize perfomance, identify critical issues and reduce costs before manufacturing physical prototypes. Test your control logic and find edge cases before deploying your machine into the real-world.

Design and simulate your manufacturing processes inside our virtual world. Maximize throughput and minimize cost with ProtoTwin Connect for virutal commisioning. Validate your PLC control logic by connecting it to our client application. ProtoTwin provides the virtual world for the PLC. You can connect PLC tags to component I/O signals (e.g. motor state, motor speed, sensor state, etc).

Simulate industrial machinery and robot movements with extreme precision for tasks like welding or gripping. Import your CAD into our software. Assign built-in behaviours to parts and assemblies by adding components. Add dynamic and kinematic physics joints and chain them together to create mechanisms. Solve general mechanisms or robotic arms to a target pose.

Model large complex material handling machines and systems in our software. Import your CAD, add built-in and custom scripted components and run the simulation. Iterate on your designs to improve robustness, eliminate bottlenecks, increase throughput and reduce costs. Test your control logic by connecting the industrial PLC to your PC and binding tags to I/O in the ProtoTwin model.

Once deployed, your simulation model serves as a dynamic digital twin. Verify the machine operation and control logic before commiting expenditure to building the real machine. Measure throughput and cycle times using our data collection and analysis components. Add sensors, motors and transport surface components to enable conveyor belts for transporting materials.

Test your control logic at a high-level first using our TypeScript API. Once you feel confident, move on to our integrated SoftPLC which uses Function Block Diagrams. Finally, build the virtual commisioning model to test the real PLC program.

Simulate AI-Powered Quadruped and Humanoid robotic agents. Leverage machine learning for motor control and decision making. ProtoTwin provides an accurate simulation platform for training deep reinforcement learning models.

We also provide a suite of tools for effective sim-to-real transfer. You can train your robot to solve tasks directly inside our simulation software and transfer the policies learnt to the real-world. Minimizing the gap from simulation to reality requires high-fidelity dynamic physics with domain randomization. ProtoTwin strives to give you complete control. You can randomize static and dynamic friction, restitution and damping coefficients.

Customize motor properties, masses, softness and terrain. Add sensor components for measuring the local position, orientation, angular and linear velocity of dynamic rigid bodies. You may additionally create your own scripted components with custom I/O. Make use our vectorized Gymnasium environments for training larger ML models more quickly.

ProtoTwin is most advanced VR simulation platform in the world. Our rendering engine has been heavily optimized for real-time rendering and physics simulation in virtual reality. The traditional workflow first involves creating your machine, or system in our software. After that, you can view your model in VR at the click of a button.

Virtual Reality in ProtoTwin uses WebXR. To ensure that you achieve a consistent framerate, it is necessary to use a computer equiped with a powerful GPU. We recommend using an NVIDIA RTX 3080 or better. No separate viewer application required.

ProtoTwin VR allows you to assess the size of your machine and discover potential issues much more easily before going into production. You can also reduce the timestep of the simulation for a better VR experience.
