Virtual commissioning in industrial automation

Abstract

Virtual commissioning is a relatively new approach in the field of industrial automation, which uses simulation and virtual reality technologies to test and optimize control systems before they are deployed in real-world industrial environments. This approach has the potential to improve the quality and reliability of control systems while reducing the time and costs associated with traditional physical commissioning. In this thesis, the author explores the concept of virtual commissioning in industrial automation, including its benefits and challenges, and the current state of the technology. The author also reviews the existing literature on virtual commissioning, including academic papers and industry reports. Finally, a discussion about the future of virtual commissioning in industrial automation and the potential for further research in this area.
