## Reviews

### "Fantastic simulation tool" — 5.0/5

> **Ricky** | *13 December 2022* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is relatively easy to use and can import many 3D models and modify them
> 
> **Cons**: The text size for everything is really small and it is not possible to adjust
> 
> Simulating many different types of robot systems for automation

-----

### "Integration of VC" — 5.0/5

> **RAVI** | *29 May 2024* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is possible to do almost all robotic tasks without getting an answer NO
> 
> **Cons**: The robot initiation and steps of automation and also calibration is the most difficult part.
> 
> We are yet to get a positive outcome from the ongoing integration. We are still far from getting a fruitful outcome to sell the integrated suite
