Course Overview

The Siemens Virtual Commissioning for Machines (DI-VIRTCOM) course is designed for configuration engineers, project planners, and automation programmers working in mid-to-large-scale industrial environments. This comprehensive training equips professionals with the skills to simulate, test, and validate machine designs before physical deployment, significantly reducing commissioning time and costs. As industries increasingly adopt digital twin technologies—over 60% of Fortune 500 manufacturing firms now use virtual commissioning in their workflows—this course provides critical expertise aligned with Industry 4.0 transformation. Participants gain direct exposure to Siemens’ integrated Digital Enterprise suite, preparing them for modern engineering challenges in automation and machine design.

Students engage with key Siemens platforms including NX CAD, Mechatronics Concept Designer (MCD), TIA Portal, PLCSIM Advanced, and SIMIT to build and test virtual machine models in a software-in-the-loop environment. Through hands-on labs conducted in the Siemens SITRAIN virtual learning environment, learners create detailed 3D machine models in NX, define control logic in TIA Portal, and integrate PLC simulations using PLCSIM Advanced. A core project involves constructing a fully automated virtual machine, connecting its mechanical design to a simulated PLC, and performing end-to-end virtual commissioning. This real-world scenario mirrors industrial practices, allowing engineers to detect design flaws, optimize program flow, and validate safety logic without physical hardware.

The Virtual Commissioning for Machines (DI-VIRTCOM) course prepares participants for Siemens’ official certification in digital commissioning, a credential increasingly recognized by global engineering firms implementing smart manufacturing systems. Certified professionals report an average 20% faster project delivery and are highly sought after, with automation engineering roles averaging $95,000–$120,000 annually in North America and Europe. Koenig Solutions enhances this training with Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling, official Siemens courseware, and optional 1-on-1 mentoring, ensuring learners master complex integration workflows. Graduates emerge ready to lead digital transformation initiatives, reduce machine downtime, and drive innovation in automated production systems.
