From concept to virtual prototype — while you are still in the meeting

In sales it is decided early whether a concept holds up. With a virtual prototype you turn your customer's requirement into a running plant model while you are still quoting — and prove cycle time, feasibility, and cost instead of estimating them.

The most common objection in a sales meeting is throughput: will the system hit the required output? A virtual prototype answers that with a simulation run rather than an estimate. Because twin reproduces motion sequences, speeds and accelerations realistically, the simulated cycle time holds up — including for the variants your customer brings up in the meeting.

Feasibility is settled just as quickly: does the robot reach every position, does the layout fit the available floor space, does anything collide? Thanks to preconfigured simulation models — robots, conveyors, grippers, machines — a first concept is ready in hours instead of days. Whatever does not work surfaces before the quote, not on site.

And because variants can be played through in the model in minutes, you negotiate with numbers instead of assumptions: one station more or less, a larger gripper, a different cycle — every variant shows its effect on throughput and cost right away. Your customer sees the plant running before signing, and once the order is in, the very same model carries on into engineering.

Without visualisation, you're selling yourself short

Complex machines and plants are hard to explain. Technical drawings and static renderings aren't enough to win customers over. Modern plant simulation delivers a realistic representation and evaluation of complex systems by precisely simulating different usage scenarios and operating conditions.

Static presentations

PowerPoint slides and 2D drawings can't precisely capture real system behaviour. Customers can't picture the actual process, and a sound assessment of system efficiency simply isn't possible with these static methods.

Long quotation cycles

Producing feasibility studies and concept visualisations takes significant effort and weeks of time — plant simulation, by contrast, enables a far faster and more efficient evaluation, helping you stay ahead of the competition.

The customer doesn't understand the solution

Without interactive visualisation, customers are left uncertain. Misunderstandings lead to rework and unhappy customers. Especially when using simulation tools, experience is what makes results understandable and precise to present.

What our customers say

Johannes Perfler
Johannes Perfler
Key Account Manager, Active Solution GmbH
Being able to simulate designs with true-to-life physics, validate their feasibility across different use cases and commission them virtually opens up an entirely new market for us as a service provider in partnership with digifai.
FH Vorarlberg
For our research we need a safe environment in which we can test AI algorithms for machines as realistically as possible. twin is perfectly suited for that.
Michael Strassmair

Robotics Application Engineer, GROPYUS Engineering GmbH
The software fulfils all our wishes – even the most demanding requirements we can master with twin. Support this fast and competent is one of a kind. twin keeps evolving continuously and always stays focused on customer needs. Keep it up!
Matthias Berkmüller
Simulation & Software, K&S Anlagenbau
As a mid-sized special machine builder, twin lets us minimise risk in the concept phase, safeguard the design early on and — through virtual commissioning — deliver a shorter time-to-market for our customers.

Deputy Managing Director, LEU Anlagenbau AG
The simulation software twin delivers on everything digifai promises. We are thrilled.
Jens Hopfgartner
Jens Hopfgartner
Technical Managing Director, MICADO SMART ENGINEERING GmbH
We are an Austrian SME, we develop turnkey special-purpose machines and spent a long time looking for suitable software for the virtual commissioning of our machines. With the software twin from digifai we now safeguard the entire development process of our machines early on and save valuable time during commissioning! With twin we have definitely backed the right horse in this area!
Ricardo Cordeiro

Project Engineer, Mondelez International
By simulating the entire machine early on, we can significantly reduce risk and save costs. The complete control software, including HMI and supervisory system, is finished and tested before the machine is even built.

CEO, Mechatronik Austria GmbH
Since we started using the digital twin in sales, our customers immediately understand what we are offering them. The interactive presentations have noticeably increased our close rate — and the model carries straight over into engineering.

Digital twin in sales — frequently asked questions

What is a digital twin in sales?
A digital twin in sales is an interactive 3D simulation of the machine or plant you want to sell — with true robot kinematics and real motion sequences. Instead of static PowerPoint slides, you show your customer live how the future plant will work. That makes your sales promise visible and verifiable before anything is built for real.
How does plant simulation help sell machines?
Plant simulation shortens the path from quote to close: the customer understands the solution immediately, misunderstandings about layout, cycle time, and feasibility disappear, and you stand out from competitors still working with 2D drawings alone. twin users report roughly a 40% higher close rate.
Can I use twin to present a plant that hasn't been built yet?
Yes — that's exactly what twin is built for. You create a virtual prototype in a few hours from CAD data and the component library, and present the not-yet-existing plant as an interactive digital twin. Reach, cycle-time, and layout proofs demonstrate feasibility live in the customer presentation, long before the real machine is built.
How quickly can a virtual prototype be built for a quote?
Thanks to the drag-and-drop library with numerous preconfigured components (robots, conveyors, grippers) and direct CAD import, a presentation-ready model is often finished in under an hour — instead of the days or weeks classic 3D renderings require. Models you've built once can be reused for follow-up quotes.
Can the sales model later be reused in engineering?
Yes. The digital twin created in sales flows seamlessly into engineering — for virtual commissioning and later as a 3D HMI in ongoing operation. That way, the effort invested during the quotation phase pays off across the machine's entire lifecycle.
