Automate 2025

We are excited of showcasing our full suite of simulation and offline programming robotic software at upcoming Automate 2025. Visit our booth 2650!

“For a company that needs to improve output, it can be daunting to change because variables seem endless,” says Graham Wloch, Director of Business Development at Visual Components. “We eliminate guesswork for our customers with our simulation software by running scenarios and identifying new processes compatible for all departments.”

Visual Components software includes an extensive library of 3D models with over 1,600 robots, 70+ brands, and a wide range of conveyors, machines, resources, robot tools, and factory facilities. The ready-made components allow manufacturers to design, build, and simulate more efficient production lines. A feasibility analysis feature identifies and resolves production issues in the virtual environment, providing vital data for all team members.

“Our simulation goes far beyond adding robotics to meet production goals,” Wloch adds. “We examine labor allocation, space optimization, shipping functions, and any function that influences final output.”

In addition to our simulation software, we will showcase our offline programming (OLP) robotic software. Compatible with any industrial robot brand, process, or complexity, our OLP improves robot utilization rate with fast, accurate, and error-free programming. Manufacturers decrease downtime because robots can continue working on the production floor while programmers update or re-program them from anywhere. Our OLP software stores process knowledge, making it simple to reuse programs and preserve institutional information.

Doing More with Less Through Simulation

Manufacturing and its challenges are constantly changing and evolving. In the last several years those challenges have been accelerated and left manufacturers needing new tools to deal with them effectively. The same old way of doing things simply isn’t good enough anymore and new tools are needed.

Simulation allows you to visualize and better understand your manufacturing process. From capturing concepts and ideas to get everyone on the same page and to launch continuous improvement projects, simulation can give you the edge in your industry. By comparing scenarios in the simulation environment, you can use the statistics Visual Components can generate to make data driven decisions that you are genuinely confident in.

Want to automate processes but are unsure where to begin? Simulation can show you exactly what the outcome will be so you can avoid zero net gain or even worse, have unintended consequences because of a consequential decision. Automation for the sake of automation is never a good idea, but using simulation can determine the best-case scenario for the improvement of a process.

Robots, AGVs, and AMRs are often the focus of automation which makes sense. People however are just as important. With the shortage of skilled workers, having them in the right places is critical for a process to achieve maximum efficiency. Along with those highly coveted skilled workers, the interaction of all resources is essential when it comes to understanding the complete manufacturing process.

The right automation and the right people in the right places can lead to increased thruput, efficiency, reduced capital expenditure, a smaller footprint, and an increase the bottom line. Simulation lets you achieve all of these without having to disrupt your ongoing process.

Simulation is no longer a novelty, but a necessity for companies looking to use all of the tools available to them to improve processes and do more with less at the same time!
