Design and validate automation before installing it.

Automation Designer and Twin are being built for integrators and factory engineering teams that need to move from a real layout to a validated multi-resource automation scenario. Import or author the floor, configure equipment, simulate material flow and compare alternatives before physical commissioning.

The engineering workflow

From layout to a reproducible scenario.

In development

Author the layout

Work from saved layout revisions with typed racks, barriers, lanes and automation assets rather than a presentation-only 3D scene.

Research

Configure equipment

Represent conveyors, robot cells, mobile resources and material handoffs with explicit geometry, capabilities and connections.

Research

Simulate the workflow

Run bounded cell and fleet scenarios, preserve custody and derive metrics from the runtime rather than painted dashboard values.

Research

Compare alternatives

Evaluate throughput, travel, buffers, fleet sizing and proposed automation changes before approving a physical deployment.

What we are validating now

Real engineering constraints, not a generic digital-twin claim.

CAD-grade authoringlayout import, editing, versioning and typed assets
Cell workflowconveyor → cobot/gripper → pallet → autonomous transport
Fleet simulationruntime-derived routes, missions, recovery and metrics
Nextconveyor networks, multi-level sites, vendor assets, wave/slotting and material optimization

Availability is project-specific. Automation Designer and Twin are at design and prototype stage — an engineering-validation programme, not a universally qualified virtual-commissioning replacement for vendor robot or PLC tools. Every capability and its readiness is listed on the platform page.

Where it fits

Observe the as-is. Design the to-be.

Sight can establish evidence about the current operation. Automation Designer/Twin models proposed changes. Flow is the separate governed execution layer for supported systems and robots. This separation keeps observation, simulation and command authority explicit.

Design partner program

Bring us a project you already engineer manually.

We will recreate a bounded workflow with you and measure engineering time, iteration speed and issues found before deployment.
