Eclipse Automation Unveils Immersive Factory Planning Platform Eclipse RealitySync at Automate 2026
Eclipse Automation has launched Eclipse RealitySync, a new immersive collaborative platform debuted at Automate 2026. Powered by Apple Vision Pro spatial computing, the platform enables manufacturers to evaluate, de-risk, and scale factory automation projects in a virtual environment before any physical systems are built, allowing engineering, operations, and management teams to jointly review plant layouts and production workflows.
Highlights
- Eclipse Automation launched Eclipse RealitySync, an immersive factory planning platform, at Automate 2026.
- The platform is powered by Apple Vision Pro spatial computing, enabling fully immersive virtual factory walkthroughs.
- Engineering, operations, and management teams can simultaneously review plant layouts and automation configurations in a shared virtual environment before physical build-out.
- Eclipse RealitySync is designed to identify planning issues early, reducing the high costs associated with post-construction modifications.
- The platform represents a new generation of digital twin applications, combining XR technology with intuitive, interactive spatial computing for factory automation planning.
Eclipse Automation has officially launched Eclipse RealitySync, a new immersive collaborative platform designed to help manufacturers evaluate, de-risk, and scale factory automation projects before physical production systems are built.
Global Debut at Automate 2026
The platform made its world premiere at Automate 2026, leveraging Apple Vision Pro technology to allow users to explore virtual production environments in a fully immersive way. Teams across engineering, operations, and management can use the platform to collaboratively review plant layouts, production workflows, and automation configurations — all before committing to large-scale capital expenditure.
Core Platform Capabilities
Eclipse RealitySync is built around the concept of closing the gap between conceptual planning and real-world deployment. Through its immersive virtual environment, decision-makers can:
- Visualize factory layouts: Present complete production line configurations in virtual space before any physical equipment arrives on-site
- Cross-functional collaborative review: Engineering, operations, and management teams can simultaneously enter the virtual environment to discuss and make decisions
- Reduce project risk: Identify potential issues during the early planning stage, avoiding costly modifications after physical construction has begun
- Accelerate automation scaling: Give manufacturers greater confidence to advance factory automation upgrade programs
Industry Context
As global manufacturing accelerates its push toward smart factory and automation transformation, the complexity of factory planning has grown significantly. Traditional 2D drawings or static 3D models are increasingly inadequate for cross-departmental communication. Eclipse RealitySync combines extended reality (XR) with the spatial computing capabilities of Apple Vision Pro, signaling that digital twin applications are entering a new generation — one that is more intuitive and interactive.
Eclipse Automation stated that the platform will help manufacturers make smarter investment decisions at the planning stage, fundamentally changing how factory automation projects are evaluated and executed.
