Autonomous robotics in industry does not start on the shopfloor — it starts in simulation.
In this session, we present how industrial robots can be trained, validated, and optimized within a scalable simulation environment using metys, EDAG’s industrial execution framework.

The focus lies on:
- physics-based simulation
- process-aware robot training
- collision and path validation
- integration of real production constraints

Rather than discussing autonomy in theory, this talk demonstrates how simulation environments can accelerate commissioning, reduce ramp-up risk, and improve reliability before physical deployment.
We will show how virtual robot training becomes a practical industrial tool — bridging digital validation and real-world production execution.

Key Takeaways:
- How simulation reduces commissioning risk in robotics projects
- Why production context is critical for robot training
- How digital twins enable safer and faster ramp-up
- Practical insights from industrial use cases
