Even a virtual operation start-up is very well  possible.  The simulation programs that we recommend:  • have more than 400 predefined  robots like Kuka, ABB, Staubli,  Fanuc and others • import and export programs RSL  (robot sequence language) for  ABB, Stäubli and others  • bind to real PLC control over  Profibus, Simba and PLC Sim or  TwinCAT (Beckhof) • import and simplify CAD  geometries, such as step, stl,  3ds and other formats  • allow for model building with  plug'n'play  • more info  Picker robot moves in 3 dimensions The system control plays an important role here. The better the picker  robots from Example 2 share and coordinate their task between  themselves, the fewer robots are needed (cost saving!). For more complex algorithms and layouts we use optimization methods  to quickly schedule the tasks and actions best possible. Biscuits on a 4 path conveyor Tray for 6 biscuits 6 next to each other picker- robots Conveyor for trays Example 2: Picking of biscuits Please contact us for more information or maybe sharing your suggestions.  Example 1: Welding robots at body assembly New designs or variations of existing systems are dynamically tested and under load together with designers, programmers and technologists. The real machines does not have to be taken out of production for these experiments. Only when the PLC control programs are thoroughly tested, they are passed to the real systems (reduction of downtime!)
