NEXOS.XR

With NEXOS.XR, the NEXOS.Group expands its digital expertise with a powerful extended reality platform for the automation industry. XR combines virtual, augmented, and mixed reality into a seamless tool for the development, commissioning, operation, and training of automation systems.

Automation systems are becoming more complex, projects more international, and development cycles ever shorter. NEXOS.XR was developed to address these challenges with modern XR technologies and to digitally support the entire lifecycle of automation solutions.

The platform enables the realistic representation of production plants, robot cells, and assembly lines as digital twins. Layouts, processes, material flow, robotics, and safety concepts can be virtually visualized, simulated, and evaluated. This allows planning errors to be identified early, decisions to be validated, and commissioning times to be significantly reduced.

In addition to virtual development, NEXOS.XR also opens up new possibilities during ongoing operations. Augmented and mixed reality applications can be used to visualize plant conditions, support maintenance processes, and conduct training directly on the actual plant – regardless of location and securely.
