The line is verified before start-up — data stays with you
Your line’s program runs on the twin before the equipment arrives. Control, drives and data are on your site.
Start-up without surprises on site
- The program is verified before the equipment arrivesOn site only binding sensors and axes remains.
- The equipment is yoursWe work on your equipment or on what you choose from your supplier.
- Data — inside your perimeterThe platform is installed on your servers; the panel at the machine works without the cloud.
- The commissioning engineer edits the logic on their ownIEC 61131-3 and open drive profiles.
- Line shadow next to the real lineThe same commands go to the simulator; differences are visible at once.

Line start-up — before and after the twin
| Stage | Without a twin | With a twin |
|---|---|---|
| Before purchase | A decision by catalogue and placement | The line in 3D and the calculated pace in the R&D report |
| Before the equipment arrives | The logic waits for hardware | The program is verified by the compiler, the lab and a run |
| On site | Debugging logic at the machine | Binding sensors and axes |
| After start-up | The model is thrown away | Line shadow: axis facts and divergences — a subject of the implementation |
After start-up the model keeps working
Line shadow: the same commands go both to the equipment and to the model in the simulator; the “model expected — sensor silent” mismatch is visible on screen.
A new unit — virtually first
Its cycle starts on the neighbour’s real sensor; the real unit later takes its place without rebuilding the line.
The same commands — to equipment and model
Feedback comes from both sides and is compared; control stays with your staff. This mode is a subject of the implementation.
Equipment, data and knowledge — yours
Equipment
You do not need to buy it from us: we work on your equipment or on what you choose from your supplier or integrator.
Data
The line model opens in the browser inside your network; the deployment scheme for your security requirements is agreed in the specification.
Knowledge
Logic — in IEC 61131-3, drives — on open profiles: a commissioning engineer familiar with them finds their way alone. Handing results over to the team is part of the stage.
The implementation as R&D
Support measures
Support measures exist for deployments — the Skolkovo Foundation, the Foundation for Assistance to Innovation, the Industrial Development Fund. Availability depends on the competition terms.
Tax accounting
R&D expenses from the Government list can be accounted for in profit tax with an increasing coefficient; check applicability with a tax adviser.
Safety
The cell safety circuit is a separate hardware circuit; torque to drives — only inside a motion step. Security and data →

Plant questions
What if the target indicators are not reached?
The achieved figures and the reasons for divergence are recorded in the R&D report and the test protocol. This is the basis for a decision: refine, change the approach or stop.
Is training needed?
The logic is written to IEC 61131-3 and drives work on open profiles, so a commissioning engineer familiar with them finds their way alone. The line model opens in the browser; the panel at the machine gives start, stop and state.
Can we start small?
Yes: the implementation starts with three line cells, payment in stages by acts — the first act is the model and cell layout on screen.
Do you work with our WMS/MES and warehouse platforms?
Yes. It works alongside your WMS/MES and warehouse platforms — we are responsible for the equipment level. The scope of data exchange is fixed in the implementation specification.
