A new approach to create a realistic virtual model of a cylindrical robot using Automation Studio

Abstract

Industry 4.0 is mainly represented by the digitalization technologies of physical industrial assets, thus obtaining the cyber-physical systems. A key role in digitalization developing is indeed played by possibility to develop a realistic virtual model (3D model) and using this model in virtual simulations to test the functionality of the system at possible scenarios from real world. The paper presents the modelling a mechatronic system represented by a three-dimensional cylindrical type manipulator in Automation Studio software and aims creating cinematic animation which will be used in the field of virtual commissioning. This approach in Industry 4.0 paradigm is studied in the academic environment and in the industrial research from last decade time, because generate major benefits such as in remote accessibility for learning, time efficiency from planning to real setup with possibility of detection and debugging of errors in the system, for minimizing time commissioning and predictive maintenance.
