Is a Fischertechnick Factory simulation doable?

[jredrejo]

Hi, I'm a teacher on a Spanish secondary public school teaching automation on vocational training. Some months ago we have acquired this wonderful FischerTechnick Factory https://youtu.be/pfOQQBFJTTs?si=2T2BIs0kq2hB1u_R

In order to help my students prepare their exercises I'm considering using Machines SImulator to do a model of the whole factory or, at least, of some of the stations.
I've seen people who have done complete simulations using Unity: https://www.kbozz.com/fischertechnick-factory/ or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6s3UKTkqpw0

I wonder if I'm a complete fool thinking of doing a replica of the stations using Machines Simulator. Following https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0v7fQ6p1j7I it seems to me that it's doable. Even if the aesthetic is not the same, functionality is what I care about.

Do you have any advice on how to do it, or do you think it's even achievable or I should give up?

Thanks in advance

Hi JRedrejo!

Yes of course, this is one of the objectives of the software, to be able to create your own digital twin for any kind of system.
in the Machines Simulator included scenes, already are three systems that come from simulation models very similar to FischerTechnick devices.

Using the included tools in Machines Simulator, the process to virtualice these systems are more easy & quick that start from zero using any other software as Unity or 3D design and simulation systems.

Also you have our support to help you to create the simulations if you have any thouble during the process.

Do noy hesitate to contact us in the info@nirtec.com or easyplc@nirtec.com if you have any additional question.
