Product Overview

Siemens SIMIT is a modern, state-of-the-art simulation platform designed for both virtual commissioning and operator training. Through the enabling of comprehensive automation tests and providing realistic training environments, SIMIT optimizes processes, retains know-how, and significantly reduces commissioning time as well as time-to-market. SIMIT offers a reliable foundation for process optimization through enhancing lifecycle efficiency and ensuring smooth transitions from virtual to real operations.

By utilizing SIMIT virtual commissioning and operator training, process operations can overcome many of the challenges inherent in the growing complexity of automated manufacturing ecosystems.  Bringing products to market faster than the competition while continuing to maintain quality levels requires integrated engineering workflows as well as short changeover and start-up times. That’s where SIMIT comes in. SIMIT helps your operation overcome these challenges with a single platform allowing you to perform virtual start-ups, test automation applications in a virtual environment, and train systems operators in a realistic (but secure) environment.

SIMIT can also act as a virtual twin for your industrial process. Through advanced software, the simulation platform SIMIT can create an idea starting point for the digital twin of your system. This allows you to start up a system virtually, even during the planning phase. Then, once the real system is in place, data is continuously collected to keep the virtual image (the “digital twin”) up to date. This means it’s able to provide value throughout the system’s entire life. First it can be used to simulate the system, then later it can be used to optimize it.

Did you know… Cross Company is an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan). Our ESOP started in 1979 and as of 2006, we are 100% employee-owned! Learn more about our ESOP and how that benefits both team members and our customers.
Did you know... the precision measurement group at Cross was founded in 1939 by our current CEO's grandfather, Jim King. That's a whole lot of calibration!
Did you know... A fingerprint weighs about 50 micrograms. We know, we weighed it! The residue left from a finger can actually make a difference in weight results which is why we wear gloves when we calibrate weights. For reference, a sheet of paper is about 4.5 grams, that’s 4.5 million micrograms.
Did you know… Cross Company has grown significantly since our start in 1954. Over the years we've acquired 26 companies! Today, our five groups have expertise in everything from industrial automation to precision measurement, and industry knowledge going all the way back to 1939.
