Abstract

3D simulation has become an essential tool in modern industrial automation. It aligns with the goals of Industry 4.0, which aim to improve efficiency and reduce costs in complex manufacturing environments. Nowadays, there are 3D simulation environments available in the market designed to address the challenges of accurately replicating complex industrial settings. Unfortunately, these are paid products with a steep learning curve, and users cannot add new components that are not included in their libraries. This work explores how to use Unity, a comprehensive development tool primarily used for creating video games and interactive experiences in 2D, 3D, augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR), for digital modelling of automation systems. Specifically, it presents a methodology to follow in order to minimize the learning curve and also introduces two basic and essential components in automation: magnetic sensors and double-acting cylinders.
