Case Study: SEW-EURODRIVE accelerates virtual commissioning with Unity and realvirtual.io

SEW-EURODRIVE and realvirtual.io Accelerating virtual commissioning with Unity

SEW-EURODRIVE, a global drive technology and automation leader, needed a faster, safer way to commission industrial systems without waiting for time-consuming on-site PLC debugging. Working with Unity and realvirtual.io, the company used Unity Industry, PiXYZ, and MOVIKIT® Custom SimInterface to build realistic digital twins for virtual commissioning.

Unity’s solution enabled SEW-EURODRIVE to connect MOVI-C® controllers to digital twins with a one-click, MQTT-based workflow, while realvirtual.io handled kinematics, sensors, and physics in Unity. The result was a 70% reduction in commissioning time, 100% pre-tested PLC logic, fewer logical errors, and faster ROI for automation investments.
