What is RF::VPM?

Project preparation for RF::ViPer.

RF::VPM, short for ViPer Project Management, is a project preparation utility within RF::SUITE.

It supports the creation of RF::ViPer projects by processing PLC and robot symbol lists, applying predefined import and rule files and exporting project data in a standardized format.

By reducing manual preparation effort, RF::VPM helps teams start virtual commissioning projects faster and with greater consistency.

Project Preparation Workflow

From engineering data to prepared RF::SUITE projects.

RF::VPM transforms engineering input into structured project data for the RF::SUITE workflow.
