Overview

One of the biggest challenges in launching an automation project is minimizing risks while ensuring a thorough understanding of customer requirements. Overlooking key details can lead to costly failures. Fortunately, today’s advanced technologies offer transformative solutions to de-risk automation projects. How can automation projects be delivered with precision, reduced costs, and minimal risks—all before physical implementation begins? By leveraging VR, AI, and Digital Twin technologies, system integrators are revolutionizing traditional approaches to automation. These tools bridge the gap between conceptual designs and real-world deployment, uncovering design flaws early, mitigating risks, and optimizing project lifecycle. This session will showcase how system integrators can convert CAD models into interactive, immersive simulations that allow stakeholders to visualize, interact with, and refine automation solutions early in the process, driving better decision-making. Attendees will gain insights into how creating safe-to-fail environments provides value far beyond design, including enhanced onboarding, training, process improvements, and ongoing maintenance.
