Open Commissioning is an open framework for virtual commissioning.

The project is based on Unity, providing a 3D-Editor to create interactive Software-in-the-Loop simulations with no code difference between virtual and real commissioning. If Hardware-in-the-loop is required, TwinCAT can be used for emulating industrial bus systems and behavior models in real time.

Key objectives

• Developing and using an open solution for virtual commissioning
• Collaborating and using knowledge-sharing culture
• Avoiding vendor lock

SpiraTec AG is a globally active company for industrial engineering and high-tech solutions for digital transformation in the process industry, specializing in engineering, robotics, automation, and industrial IT systems. With a team across 40+ locations, we deliver end-to-end solutions, from consulting and system engineering to commissioning and optimization.

Open Commissioning's core technologies:

• Unity Package: Geometry, kinematics and product transport are created in a Unity scene to mimic the behavior of a real machine.
• Assistant Application: Dotnet application, handling plugins for engineering helpers and communication to third-party interfaces.
• TwinCAT Library: Can run on isolated cores with 1 ms cycle time and provides a stable environment for Hardware-in-the-loop simulations.
