The use of virtual and simulation technology is a practical way to improve the utilization efficiency of college laboratories and reduce experimental maintenance costs. Introduce the more mature simulation and virtual technology; in view of the status quo of industrial automation laboratories in some colleges and universities, combined with the current development of virtual instrument and simulation technology, the establishment of industrial automation laboratories in colleges and universities is discussed.
