03 — CORE PLATFORM
VUP: Inovance's mechatronics simulation platform
Virtual Universe Pro (VUP) is Inovance's own mechatronics simulation software. It covers physics simulation, robot definition, an internal controller and virtual commissioning with PLCs from several brands, and it is the core tool behind our digital twin and line simulation work.
- Virtual commissioning: validate logic, motion and layout before go-live.
- Cost and risk down: less time commissioning on site, less risk to real equipment.
- Digital twin: the model talks to your PLCs and runs in sync with the machine.
- Training: a visual, repeatable environment for building skills.
