Partnering for More Efficient Robot Motions
Realtime Robotics and Valiant TMS Utilize Optimization Service to Enhance Manufacturing Operations
In a groundbreaking move, Realtime Robotics, a leading provider of collision-free autonomous motion planning solutions for industrial robots, has joined forces with Valiant TMS, a reputable system integrator, to deliver innovative manufacturing solutions. This strategic alliance focuses on leveraging Realtime Robotics’ Optimization-as-a-Service to optimize production operations, resulting in increased efficiency and productivity.
Overview: Optimization-as-a-Service
Realtime Robotics’ Optimization-as-a-Service is a meticulously crafted solution designed to address specific manufacturing challenges. It empowers manufacturers to tackle production bottlenecks or plan new cells effectively. The primary objective of this service is to meet or surpass the manufacturer’s targeted cycle time. This remarkable service enables users to evaluate the impact of programming changes on cycle time without disrupting ongoing processes.
While skilled programmers can manually explore various alternatives, Realtime Robotics’ Optimization-as-a-Service distinguishes itself by employing advanced algorithms capable of analyzing hundreds of thousands of potential robot paths. This comprehensive analysis identifies optimal motion sequences by considering target sequences, robot reach, and other customer-defined parameters. The result is a minimization of cycle time and the elimination of the need for additional hardware, integrations, and deployments.
Implementing Optimization-as-a-Service
Utilizing the Optimization-as-a-Service is a straightforward process. Manufacturers simply need to provide a simulation file or digital twin of the cell earmarked for improvement. Once the analysis is meticulously conducted and the anticipated outcomes validated, the optimized plan can be seamlessly transferred to the factory floor for immediate implementation.
Case Study: Real-World Application
In a recently concluded multi-robot application, Valiant TMS strategically employed Realtime’s optimization service to develop motion plans characterized by enhanced efficiency, optimized interlocks, and reduced execution time. This transformative approach yielded remarkable results, reducing the manufacturer’s robot cycle time by an impressive 17% while simultaneously halving robot programming time.
Conclusion
The collaboration between Realtime Robotics and Valiant TMS has proven to be a game-changer for manufacturers seeking to elevate their operational efficiency. The Optimization-as-a-Service solution has emerged as a valuable tool, empowering manufacturers to identify and resolve production bottlenecks, optimize cycle times, and streamline robot programming.
