About Visual Components

Visual Components is a 3D manufacturing simulation software that enables users to create compelling production line and factory layouts in minutes. With its powerful yet simple solutions, it allows designers and engineers to build and simulate factories of the future using an extensive library of over 3,000 ready-made components.

The software comes in three variants - Essentials, Professional, and Premium - catering to different needs. The Essentials edition contains pre-made models and templates to design, build and simulate manufacturing setups. The Professional edition allows defining and creating custom components to simulate within the 3D environment. The Premium edition provides a complete virtualization solution for factories, facilitating design reviews, feasibility analysis, virtual commissioning, and more.

Additionally, Visual Components offers robot offline programming capabilities through its Robotics OLP, Professional OLP, and Premium OLP products. These solutions, containing over 1,600 robots from 70 brands, optimize robot utilization through fast, accurate and collision-free simulation and programming. Users can design custom robot workcells, program robots, and self-commission robots without manual teaching - bringing substantial time and cost savings.

The software also enables experiencing 3D simulations on mobile devices and virtual reality headsets through its Visual Components Experience product. Users can also embed their 3D simulations directly into websites with the Visual Components Experience Web offering.

With its robust and extensive capabilities, Visual Components aims to help manufacturers, system integrators, OEMs, startups, and academia plan, validate, and continuously improve their production systems - enabling them to save time, reduce costs, and boost efficiency.

The Visual Components software itself is easy to use, and the visuals are beautiful, which enhances the impression of the movement of our designed products. The sales representatives at the Visual Components headquarters are also very kind and respond to questions in detail, so we can proceed with confidence. However, I feel that the service system within Japan is a challenge while we appreciate them.

Pros

E Catalogue is very easy to understand and user-friendly. By utilizing the educational materials of Visual Components, one can understand the functions to a certain extent through self-study.

Cons

I am using it in Japan, but the Japanese guides are not comprehensive. The service system in Japan is also insufficient, so I am forced to learn how to use it in English on my own

I like working with VC by realising different analysis, simulations, rendering, digital protoypes with one software. :)

Pros

- Stability of software
- The open VC-Framework for realise selfmade AddOns

Cons

- VC is using an old .Net Framework and old Python version

Pros

A strong reactivity to solve problems and the wish of developping new things.

Cons

When you have a training with VC, it's very simple to use but when you're alone with an another logic of programming and you want to be very precise, it's a little bit complicate.

Fantastical (I know that's not a real word, but it describes what it's like to be able to virtually create and simulate exactly what we plan to do in the real world)

Pros

It is a comprehensive 3D simulation tool that allows for flexibility, customization, real world visualizations and powerful presentations. Honestly, every time I show a simulation it knocks the socks off of the people who see it.

Cons

The cost. This is the most expensive software ever purchased in my 45 years of employment.
