Forecasts are projecting a market size of over USD 400 billion by the mid-2030s,
driven primarily by manufacturing, automation, and virtual commissioning use cases.
Long established as an engineering best practice, simulation is now increasingly evolving into a strategic lever across the entire automation lifecycle.
Simulation is becoming a strategic capability
Together with Visual Components, member of the KUKA Group since 2017,
KUKA Group is accelerating the adoption of industrial simulation across engineering,
planning, commissioning, and lifecycle management – delivering measurable value for customers,
partners, and the manufacturing industry as a whole.
“Simulation is no longer an optional engineering tool – it is a strategic capability,”
says Christoph Schell, CEO KUKA Group.
“With Visual Components, we are empowering our customers and partners to reduce risk, shorten time-to-market, and unlock new levels of efficiency across the entire automation lifecycle.“
High-resolution digital twins
KUKA Group’s ecosystem brings together international customers, system integrators, and
technology experts to showcase how simulation-driven approaches are reshaping the
way automation solutions are designed, validated, and deployed.
A Simulation Event held at KUKA’s headquarters in Germany reinforced this strategic focus supported
by partners of Visual Components like TWINZO, RIIICO, DUALIS, REALTIME ROBOTICS,
Flexcon and Team CMC on industrial simulation.
Visual Components, which launched a major update with Visual Components 5.0 in March, plays a
key role, with its simulation platform enabling high-fidelity digital twins, collaborative planning,
and informed decision-making at a very early stage – well before any physical systems are built.
