DIGITAL TWINS WITH REALVIRTUAL.IO
Virtual Commissioning with realvirtual.io includes a free development framework for the visualization and virtual commissioning of automated systems. realvirtual.io is based on Unity, a popular commercial game development environment that includes support for VR (virtual reality) and AR (augmented reality).
The open source realvirtual.io platform can be acquired from the Unity Asset Store and provides all necessary components to power up a digital twin with Unity. The platform includes CAD interfaces (CAD-Live-Link), drives, sensors and interfaces for industrial automation systems.
The digital twin integrates as a Unity module in your own Windows, iOS or Android applications - FOR FREE

FOR MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
realvirtual.io Professional is aimed at mechanical engineering. Based on the imported CAD data, the system can be realistically simulated for design and virtual commissioning.
Our automation interfaces to robotics and industrial controllers (e.g. to ABB Robotstudio, OPCUA, Siemens S7, TwinCAT, etc.) allow integration with the real controller.
CUSTOM BUSINESS MODELS
The digital twin based on realvirtual.io is more than a tool for virtual commissioning. realvirtual.io enables individual business models without the restriction of gagging license conditions.
From one model, the digital twin can be used as a native application on almost all systems, such as Windows, Linux, WebGL, iOS, Mac and Android. And that free of license costs.
As a training system, for high-end videos, cell phone APP for marketing & trade shows, for AR applications, or as an innovative 3D HMI for the real machine. The possibilities are limitless.
USE CASES
Applying the 3D models to virtual commissioning and control testing
PLAYFULL PERFORMANCE
Based on the Unity Game Engine, realvirtual.io offers unrivalled performance. Unity has already introduced modules that are only now in development for conventional engineering solutions. The combination of the software’s physical simulation with kinematic models, gives the environment a tremendous ability to simulate almost an unlimited amount of moving objects.
Boring visualization in CAD is in the past. Realistic shadows, surfaces, light reflections and textures can now be displayed - in real time.

Free distribution of your digital twin on Android, IOs, Windows devices and on the Web (Standard Unity functions).
CAD PLAYS
realvirtual.io Professional includes CAD Link which allows to import the STEP and 3MF format which a lot of CAD Systems can export. The hierarchy shows which data has been changed by the mechanical designer. The 3D model in Unity updates automatically to changes in the mechanical design overwriting the additions in Unity.
With parts4cad you get access to millions of standard industrial components. parts4cad can be downloaded for free.
Addtional CAD formats can be imported by the use of PIXYZ like for example JT, AutoCAD 3D, Catia, NX, Solidworks, Solidedge, CreoPro / E. PiXYZ is not included in realvirtual.io and must be purchased separately.
GAME WITH OPEN CARDS
realvirtual.io includes interfaces to Simit, PLCSim Advanced and over TCP-IP to Siemens hardware such as. S7-300, S7-1500, Sinumerik and Simotion.
The behavioral model can be developed either in Simit or directly in realvirtual.io based on templates in C #.
If required, the Profibus and Profinet fieldbus systems can be connected directly via Simit with the export of the hardware configuration from Step7 or TIA Portal.
AUTOMATION INTERFACES
realvirtual.io includes interfaces to Beckhoff TwinCAT, Simit, PLCSim Advanced and over TCP-IP to Siemens hardware such as. S7-300, S7-1500, Sinumerik and Simotion.
Connections to Robot Controllers like ABB Robot Studio, RoboDK or URSIM from Universal Robots can be used to test and validate industrial robot system.s
Countless other controllers can be connected thanks to Industry 4.0’s OPC UA protocol
The behavioral model can be developed either in Simit or directly in realvirtual.io based on templates in C #.
If required, the fieldbus systems Profibus and Profinet can be connected directly via Simit via the export of the hardware configuration from Step7 or TIA Portal.
MATERIAL FLOW SIMULATION WITH REALVIRTUAL.IO SIMULATION
realvirtual.io Simulation is based on realvirtual.io Starter or Professional. The library enables the simulation of path-based material flow processes such as automated guided vehicles, power & free systems as well as the physics-based simulation of accumulating conveyor technology.
The continuous and high-performance material flow simulation enables the detailed modeling of all industrial sensors such as laser scanners or camera systems. With Unity Simulations & Unity ML Agents, logic and control strategies can be tested realistically and even neural networks can be trained.
DRAG & DROP AND PARAMETRIC COMPONENTS
The library is fully parametric and enables the rapid construction of intralogistics systems with the help of snap points.
All components are open source and can be extended as desired.
The simulation of the material flow is extremely realistic and is based on the physics engine included in Unity. The simulation can be accelerated or slowed down up to 100 times. Due to the continuous realistic simulation, the control can be developed and tested realistically.
VR AND AR READY
As realvirtual.io is based on Unity, it delivers the best VR and AR experience. The digital twin can be experienced with devices such as HTC VIVE, OCULUS RIFT or the new Microsoft Hololens 2. Dive into your digital twin!

OUR MISSION
realvirtual.io (realvirtual.io) is a brand of in2Sight GmbH. With 18 years of experience in creating applications and distributing conventional simulation and commissioning software, it became evident that the game has to be redefined to meet today’s requirements. Unity gaming technology outperforms and supercedes commercial solutions from well-known providers in the PLM and Digital Factory environment in terms of performance, openness and user-friendliness.
It is mandatory to adapt to the new trends and to make new technologies manageable for mechanical design and industrial automation users, and we are committed to a new open and service-focused approach without innovation-inhibiting and costly sales structures.
realvirtual.io is perfect for tech savvy users who want more than off-the-shelf "out-of-the-box" software.
