Alihankinta
Join Visual Components at Alihankinta 2026 in Tampere from September 29 to October 1, where we will be co-exhibiting with KUKA at Hall E, Booth E219.
At the event, Visual Components will showcase how 3D manufacturing simulation and robot offline programming help companies design, test, and optimize production systems before making changes on the factory floor. By exploring production concepts in a realistic 3D environment, teams can identify potential issues early, compare different solutions, and make more confident decisions before implementation.
Design and optimize production before you build
Visual Components enables manufacturers to evaluate production layouts, processes, robot movements, and material flows in a virtual environment. This makes it possible to test different scenarios, identify bottlenecks, and optimize production systems before committing to physical changes.
A key focus will be factory layout and process simulation, helping teams understand how equipment, people, robots, and material flows work together. Production concepts can be developed and refined in 3D, making it easier to communicate ideas and collaborate across engineering, production, and automation teams.
Virtual commissioning will also be demonstrated, showing how manufacturing and automation systems can be tested before installation. By validating system behaviour and interactions in advance, companies can reduce commissioning risks, shorten startup times, and avoid costly changes during implementation.
Visitors can also explore offline robot programming, where robot programs can be developed, tested, and optimized without taking production equipment offline. Robot reach, movements, cycle times, and process sequences can be validated before deployment.
For machine builders and automation providers, simulation for sales and engineering offers a way to demonstrate how machines and production solutions perform in a realistic manufacturing environment. This helps customers understand proposed solutions and evaluate their potential before investment.
See simulation and automation come together
Together with KUKA, we will demonstrate how 3D simulation and real automation can work together to connect production planning with implementation. Visitors can see how manufacturing concepts can be designed and validated digitally before being brought to the factory floor.
With over 25 years of experience and trusted by more than 2,400 manufacturers worldwide, Visual Components helps companies turn automation concepts into optimized production systems through 3D manufacturing simulation.
Visit us at Hall E, Booth E219, to see how you can design, test, and optimize your next production solution before you build it.
