This thesis is part of a corporate project aimed at virtualizing an industrial machine as a preliminary phase toward a future digital twin implementation. The primary objective was to develop a virtual model of an industrial machine capable of faithfully replicating its operational cycle and demonstrating its simulated behavior. The industrial machine considered was a palletizer, an automatic machine designed to receive simple boxes and, through a sequence of operations, position them on a pallet located in a storage station within the machine. To meet the project’s requirements, the software used to create this digital twin pre-implementation was Automation Studio, a design and simulation software that enabled an accurate recreation of the machine based on its real structure by analyzing the electrical, pneumatic, and control schematics of the industrial machine to reproduce them within the software.
