Robot Simulation and Digital Twins

See your robot cell working before you spend a dollar on hardware. DPAC builds accurate 3D simulations and digital twins of robotic welding cells, robotic palletising systems and industrial automation lines, so reach, layout and cycle time are proven on screen before anything is built.

Prove Your Automation Project 

A robot simulation is a complete virtual model of your cell: the robot, tooling, positioners, conveyors, fixtures, guarding and your actual parts, all built from CAD and moving exactly as the real equipment would. For robotic welding, we confirm torch access and angle on every weld, size the robot and positioners to your part family, and calculate real arc-on and cycle times so you can quote robot-welded work with confidence. For robotic palletising, we model your conveyors, products and pallet stations to prove the robot keeps up with peak line speed, test pallet patterns and stack heights, and check forklift access and pallet changes. A digital twin takes this further by connecting the simulation to the real PLC and robot programs. That lets us test control logic, interlocks and fault recovery through virtual commissioning, before the equipment even arrives. The result is an industrial automation system that installs faster, runs as expected from day one and has no expensive surprises on your shop floor.

What Simulation Delivers

  • Reach and collision checks for every weld, pick and place position

  • Accurate cycle time and throughput for robotic welding and robotic palletising systems

  • Layout options compared side by side, including floor space, guarding and maintenance access

  • Offline programming, so new parts are programmed without stopping production

  • Virtual commissioning of PLC and robot programs to shorten installation and downtime

  • Safety zone and guarding planning around real robot motion, supporting the risk assessment by our TÜV-certified functional safety engineer

  • Simulation of existing cells to plan upgrades, new parts or added axes

  • Video walkthroughs of your own parts in your own space for approvals and grant applications

Digital Twins for Australian Manufacturers

Australian manufacturers face high labour costs, skills shortages and long lead times on imported equipment, so getting an automation project right the first time matters more here than almost anywhere. Simulation lets small and medium Australian businesses invest in robotic welding, robotic palletising and industrial automation with confidence, knowing the system will fit their floor, meet their production rates and pay back as planned. A clear simulation video and cycle time report also strengthen the business case for finance approvals and government manufacturing grants. Because DPAC designs, builds and supports every system from our Gold Coast workshop, the model you approve is the system we deliver, backed by local service across Australia.

Start Your Simulation Project

Send us your part drawings, production volumes and a photo or plan of your floor space, and we'll build a simulation of how your robotic welding, robotic palletising or industrial automation system would perform. Contact DPAC today to request a simulation study
