GURPEA GROUP Acquires Tecnomatix Process Simulate.

In a commitment to efficiency and excellence in industrial automation, GURPEA GROUP has taken a significant step by acquiring the license for Tecnomatix Process Simulate, a leading software in machine-robot simulation and interaction, designed for high-level automation projects, which only large-scale companies have access to due to its cost and the investment in team training required.

Therefore, this strategic step not only positions GURPEA GROUP as a pioneer in the adoption of advanced technologies that strengthen its market position, but also reflects its commitment to the reliable delivery of automation projects.

What is Tecnomatix Process Simulate?

Tecnomatix Process Simulate is a powerful digital production solution designed for process verification in a 3D environment. This tool stands out as a launch time driver, by allowing virtual validation of manufacturing concepts, shortening project delivery times, reducing errors and improving final product quality.

The growing complexity of products and manufacturing processes presents significant challenges in terms of launch times. Process Simulate becomes an essential tool by enabling the planning, simulation and validation of human tasks, robotics processes and automation throughout the entire product development lifecycle, from conceptualization and engineering, to production and continuous improvement.

Virtualization, applied to the context of industrial automation, translates into precision, optimization and reliability of processes, with prior validation with the client. – Rubén Villanueva, Head of Technical Office at GURPEA GROUP.

Process Simulate provides an advanced 3D environment capable of emulating the real behavior of production processes and optimizing the cycle time and process sequence. It facilitates the simulation of assembly processes, human operations and mechanical procedures of tools, devices and robots. This realistic emulation capability is fundamental to successfully overcome commissioning and position in an increasingly competitive market.

Key functionalities.

Among the numerous functionalities offered by Process Simulate are the calculation of reaches, trajectories and cycle times, as well as the ability to perform collision studies. The possibility of testing projects in a virtual environment, known as “digital twin” allows teams to overcome the customer delivery and commissioning phases with greater reliability and probability of success.

On the other hand, the union between programming and design presents itself as one of the greatest challenges in the lifecycle of an automation project. With Tecnomatix Process Simulate, GURPEA GROUP companies will ensure good results in this area, and strengthen their market competitiveness.

For all these reasons, the use of Tecnomatix Process Simulate translates into new product launches without failures and aligned with crucial objectives such as cost, quality and production start, thanks to virtual validation of processes in advance in virtual environments.

Benefits of Process Simulate:

Avantek Solutions, a partner company of Siemens, was in charge of training the GURPEA GROUP team about the software and the advantages its implementation offers for automation engineering processes, among which are:

• Cost reduction with early detection.

Detects and communicates product design problems early, reducing costs associated with late changes.

• Fewer physical prototypes.

Virtualizes early validation, reducing the need for multiple physical prototypes.

• Cycle time optimization.

Simulates and optimizes cycle times for more efficient production.

• Ergonomically safe processes.

Ensures ergonomic processes, prioritizing the safety and wellbeing of operators.

• Reuse of standard tools.

Reduces costs through the reuse of standard tools and facilities.

• Minimization of production risks.

Mitigates risks by simulating various production scenarios before physical implementation.

• Early validation of integrated processes.

Validates mechanical and electrical processes early, including PLC and robotics.

• Virtual Commissioning.

Performs early validation of production commissioning in a virtual environment.

• Continuous Quality Improvement.

Increases process quality by emulating real processes throughout the entire process lifecycle.
