ISG - virtuos
Simulation with the technology leader
Continuously developed since 2005, ISG-virtuos is now firmly established with leading companies as a software for virtual commissioning.
ISG-virtuos covers the generation and holistic use of simulation models from sales and digital engineering through to the operating phase - all this in one simulation model. In addition to Model-in-the-Loop (MiL) and Software-in-the-Loop (SiL), we also supply Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) simulations which simulate the behaviour of components, machines and systems including fieldbuses in deterministic real-time control.
Simulation permits the extensive testing and optimisation of your PLC programming of complex plants or robot systems, e.g. during virtual commissioning , thus saving you important time and resources in your projects.
Virtual commissioning in a nutshell
- Decoupling of software development from upstream and downstream processes (mechanical/electrical systems, installation, media supply, transport).
- Early error detection and optimisation before the actual plant is manufactured.
- Programming work shifted from the construction site to the office.
- Reduction in the number of commissioning crashes due to the model-based approach of the digital twin.
- Stable production processes and high technical availability of machines due to advanced automation software.
- Facilitates complex, time-critical projects, especially for converting existing lines or plants (enabler for reducing non-constructability).
- Reduced project management risks through enhanced progress tracking.
- Lower travel costs and more family-friendly work due to shorter on-site commissioning time:
- Increase in the quality of the delivered plant.
- Training of process partners in plant functionality.
Getting started with virtual commissioning
From first contact to technology partner
ISG is your partner when it comes to introducing simulation technologies in your company. Years of experience in consulting and implementing various customer projects have allowed us to refine our approach to introducing simulation software to new customers. We have developed the implementation workshop in order to move from the pilot phase to the productive phase as quickly as possible and still produce reliable results. This is where you not only build up the relevant know-how in simulation systems but also implement your first in-house system and thus gain a comprehensive insight into the topic of digital twins and virtual commissioning (VC) .
Basic functions
ISG-virtuos consists of basic functions, optional and technology packages and can be extended from simple machine applications to complex interlinked plants within the scope of a factory simulation and their virtual commissioning.
The basic functions of our ISG-virtuos basic functions are explained here in more detail.

Optional packages
ISG-virtuos optional packages offer additional special applications besides the basic functions. On the one hand, these packages can be used to increase the simulation scope in order to carry out even more extensive simulations, but also to extend the real-time physical library MFphys with additional packages, such as mover, AGV and tool handling libraries.

Technology packages
The optional ISG-virtuos technology packages extend real-time simulations with additional features to increase performance, such as the real-time multisolver package for simulation on multi-core systems and the automated creation of simulation models through appropriate ECF/ISGMD and JavaScript interfaces.
