bmPaintSim
Why did we use Emulate3D for bmPaintSim
Pro Con
Continues increasing requirements b+m sells just ~< 50 Robots/a
Years of experience with Emulate3D Potential of ~10-20 Licenses/a
Independ from 3rd Parties High dependency of Rockwell
Maximum flexibility for our customers
Long term cost saving opportunity
