Planning and virtual validation of multi-robot cells

for Tecnomatix Process Simulate | Siemens PLM

ginero increases the efficiency of multi-robot cell planning

The challenge

Manufacturing robots follow sequences defined by the plant designer inside. The manual interlocking of robots to avoid collisions in shared work areas, which is common today:

  • is time consuming
  • requires a high level of expertise
  • causes increased risk of planning errors
  • leads to considerable follow-up costs due to robot collisions, plant downtimes or start-up delays

The solution

ginero automates and simplifies interlock planning for multi-robot cells by:

  • Robust algorithms for optimal interlock planning
  • High usability to avoid errors
  • Seamless integration into existing processes
  • Automated workflows for higher productivity
  • Continued full control for robot programmers
