IPHYSICS BY MACHINEERING

Virtual Commissioning as a competitive edge.

Sell faster. Produce at lower cost. Win with service.
iPhysics — the virtual commissioning platform

iPhysics by machineering

The virtual commissioning platform for fast digital twins in machine building – going far beyond virtual commissioning itself. iPhysics connects every process step on one platform and digitally maps the entire machine lifecycle.

01 · SALES

Experience the machine — before it is built.

Before they buy, your customers experience their machine as an interactive 3D model – and see their processes in action. Buying decisions become faster, safer, more convincing.

02 · ENGINEERING

Develop in parallel instead of correcting afterwards.

Mechanical design, electrical and software work in parallel on the same digital prototype. Errors are caught early.

03 · COMMISSIONING

Test commissioning virtually before the machine exists.

The real PLC code runs against the digital twin before the machine physically exists. No nasty surprises at commissioning.

04 · TRAINING

Training in advance — without stopping production.

Your staff learn directly on the digital model – before commissioning and alongside running production, without downtime.

05 · TWIN AS A PRODUCT

The digital twin ships with the machine, not as a retrofit.

The digital twin becomes a delivered product: your customers use it for product changes, setup optimisation and onboarding new staff.

Four phases. Maximum ROI.

iPhysics is your 3D simulation platform for virtual commissioning – and far more.

Phase 1
+40%
Sales close rate
Sales

Selling before the machine is built

Your sales team demos the machine virtually at the customer’s site – before it is built. The 3D configurator adapts it to customer requests in real time, and the metaverse showroom makes machines tangible around the clock – no travel costs, no scheduling. Customers ’grasp’ the machine before the buying decision: up to +40% close rate.

Phase 2
−50%
Engineering costs
Engineering

Testing before manufacturing

Instead of physical prototypes, you validate virtually: collision detection on screen, cycle-time optimisation on the twin, changes without stopping production. That cuts engineering costs by an average of 50%.

Phase 3
−75%
Commissioning time
Commissioning

Commissioning without travel

Virtual commissioning happens in the office, not on the customer’s site. PLC code is tested without hardware – 80% of errors are eliminated before your team travels. Several machines in parallel, up to 75% shorter commissioning time: more productive automation engineers, customers productive sooner.

Phase 4
−60%
Travel costs
Service

Training without downtime

Remote training on the twin enables global service from Germany: train operators worldwide before the machine arrives on site – and later without downtime. Predictive maintenance sharpens servicing and spare-parts forecasts, and troubleshooting often succeeds remotely. Up to −60% travel costs with higher customer satisfaction.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about virtual commissioning

What is virtual commissioning (VC)?

In virtual commissioning, the real PLC code is tested against a physics-based simulation model of the machine – before it is built. With iPhysics, control code and digital twin run in parallel, so errors show up on screen instead of on the shop floor.

What is the difference between virtual commissioning and a digital twin?

The digital twin is the physics-based model of the machine – virtual commissioning is one of its most important applications. iPhysics also uses the same twin for sales, engineering and training.

Which control systems does virtual commissioning with iPhysics support?

iPhysics is vendor-independent and connects control systems via OPC UA, PROFINET, EtherCAT, ADS or REST – whether Siemens, Beckhoff, B&R or Rockwell. No vendor lock-in.

What are the benefits of virtual commissioning?

Up to 80% of errors are caught before the team even travels – cutting commissioning time by up to 75%. Several machines can be tested in parallel, without stopping running lines.

What does iPhysics cost – rent or buy?

iPhysics is modular: rent from €300/month or buy from €5,000. Optional modules (CAD, PLC, Robotics, IoT and more) can be added individually.

What does “Digital Twin as a Product” mean?

The digital twin is not discarded after commissioning but delivered to the customer – for product changes, setup optimisation and onboarding new staff, long after the purchase.

How long does virtual commissioning take compared to classic commissioning?

On average, commissioning time shrinks by up to 75%, because the PLC code is tested in the office and the team only travels once critical errors are already fixed.

Can iPhysics be used in sales before the machine is built?

Yes – the 3D configurator and metaverse showroom show the machine before ground is even broken. According to customer references, this raises the sales close rate by up to 40%.

Is there an official guide to virtual commissioning?

Yes, the VDMA has published a guide to virtual commissioning that describes the industry’s methods and standards. iPhysics puts these principles into practice – from model building to PLC testing.
