Stop wasting money on PLC training
0:07
hardware. Why digital twins are
0:09
revolutionizing industrial automation.
0:11
What if you could test your entire
0:12
factory floor before spending a single
0:14
dollar on equipment? Welcome to the
0:16
world of digital twins and Nertex
0:18
Machine Simulator is leading the charge.
0:20
The million-doll problem nobody talks
0:22
about. Here's the harsh reality.
0:24
Traditional PLC training and industrial
0:26
automation development are broken.
0:28
Companies are spending thousands of
0:29
dollars on physical training equipment
0:31
that breaks down and requires costly
0:33
maintenance. Takes up valuable floor
0:35
space. Can only train one person at a
0:37
time. Puts learners at risk of damaging
0:39
expensive hardware. Can't simulate
0:41
dangerous scenarios safely. Engineers
0:43
and students waste months waiting for
0:45
lab access. Manufacturers burn cash
0:48
testing systems that fail in production.
0:50
And worst of all, one programming
0:51
mistake can destroy $50,000 worth of
0:54
equipment. There has to be a better way.

What is machine simulator?
1:20
Machine Simulator is a 3D platform for
1:22
designing, programming, and testing
1:24
mechanical and control systems that
1:26
transforms how industries approach
1:27
automation without the risk, cost, or
1:29
limitations of physical hardware. Think
1:32
of it as the ultimate industrial sandbox
1:34
where you can build anything. Choose
1:36
from over 250 pre-programmed components
1:39
and more than 600 readytouse models
1:41
spanning sensors, pneumatic systems,
1:43
robotics, and conveyors. Or import your
1:46
own 3D models and program custom
1:48
behaviors. Test everything. Run
1:49
real-time simulations of your fully
1:51
programmed setups. Speed up, slow down,
1:54
or pause time to observe every detail.
1:56
Monitor digital and analog I/O in real
1:58
time. Break nothing. Simulate dangerous
2:01
scenarios. Test edge cases and push
2:02
systems to failure. All without risking
2:04
a single piece of equipment or human
2:06
safety. Why industries are ditching
2:10
manufacturers and engineers build
2:13
digital twins of any industrial system,
2:15
providing a virtual replica that
2:17
accurately mirrors real world processes
2:19
and behaviors. This means you can slash
2:22
development costs by catching design
2:23
flaws before production. Eliminate
2:25
downtime by testing maintenance
2:27
procedures virtually. Win more bids by
2:29
showing clients stunning 3D simulations
2:31
instead of static drawings. Accelerate
2:33
deployment from months to weeks.
2:35
educators and students. Educational
2:37
models provides a digital twin package
2:39
that brings physical model scenarios
2:41
directly into machines simulator.
2:44
Overcoming the limitations of costly
2:46
physical models by enabling simultaneous
2:48
risk-free learning from school or home.
2:51
Imagine teaching 30 students
2:52
simultaneously, each with their own
2:54
virtual factory floor. No waiting lists,
2:57
no broken equipment, no limits. training
3:00
programs enables a smooth transition
3:02
from theory to application, allowing
3:04
trainees to practice PLC programming and
3:06
process control safely and repeatedly.
3:08
Ideal for onboarding and continuous
3:10
learning without impacting production
3:12
resources. New hires become productive
3:14
faster. Experienced staff can upskill
3:16
without production disruptions. Everyone
3:18
learns by doing, not just watching. The
3:20
secret sauce, real industrial tools,
3:22
zero hardware. Here's what makes
3:24
machines simulator different from other
3:26
simulation software. One, industry
3:29
standard programming. Program scenarios
3:31
using car scripts or use the nodebased
3:34
visual programming system. Plus, it's
3:36
compatible with easy PLC for seamless
3:39
PLC integration. Two, real hardware
3:41
integration. Connect actual PLC's, IO
3:43
modules, and automation devices. Wire
3:46
external IO directly to your PC to work
3:48
with real world inputs and outputs of
3:50
your system. Three, proven scenarios.
3:53
Access over 60 pre-built and fully
3:55
programmed scenarios covering solar
3:57
energy, logistics, automotive, robotics,
3:59
and more. From simple setups to
4:01
comprehensive factory replicas. Four,
4:04
multiple programming options. Whether
4:06
you're a beginner using node-based
4:07
visual programming or an expert writing
4:09
C# scripts, there's a workflow for you.
4:12
Five, virtual reality. The future is
4:15
already here. Want to take immersion to
4:17
the next level? Transform simulations
4:19
into fully immersive virtual reality
4:20
experiences interacting realistically
4:22
with the environment. Walk through your
4:25
virtual factory. Reach out and interact
4:27
with machinery. Train multiple people
4:28
simultaneously in the same shared VR
4:31
environment. It's not science fiction.

about simulating smarter. Who needs
5:14
machine simulator? You should consider
5:16
this if you teach industrial automation
5:18
or PLC programming. Develop or maintain
5:21
automated manufacturing systems. Need to
5:23
train operators without production
5:25
downtime. Want to test dangerous
5:27
scenarios safely? Are tired of waiting
5:29
for lab equipment access? Need to
5:31
demonstrate systems to clients before
5:32
building? Want to reduce equipment
5:35
damage from testing? Getting started is
5:37
easier than you think. The machine
5:39
simulator suite is compatible with
5:40
Windows 11 and Windows 10, requiring at
5:43
least 8 GB of memory. Most modern
5:46
computers can run it. Plus, with
5:48
lifetime licensing options and both
5:49
standalone and cloud-based licenses
5:51
available, you can choose what works for
5:53
your needs. The bottom line, stop
5:56
thinking of simulation as a nice to have
5:58
educational tool. Digital twins enhance
6:00
decision-making, minimize downtime, and
6:02
improve overall operational efficiency,
6:04
offering invaluable insights and control
6:06
over complex systems in a safe and
6:08
adaptable environment. Programming a PLC
6:11
no longer requires a full lab of
6:13
hardware. Today, you can open your
6:14
laptop and dive into automation from
6:16
anywhere. Test logic, trigger sensors,
6:19
watch actuators respond. No wires, no
6:21
risks, no limits. The question isn't
6:23
whether you can afford digital twin
6:25
technology. The question is, can you
6:27
afford not to? Ready to transform your
6:30
approach to industrial automation?
