System Integrators

New opportunities for plant commissioning and optimization with RoboLive®!

Practice

Digital twin not usable?
When transferring to real industrial robots, offline programs cannot be used directly in most cases. The reason for this is inaccuracies in the simulation of the plant. Instead, programs must be rewritten on site and the valuable connection to the simulation environment is lost.
No time for plant optimization?
Many optimization ideas are not implemented because downtimes during production are too short and changes to quality-relevant processes are far too risky. Such work could normally only be carried out during new construction, which means that the full potential of the plant cannot be exploited.
Dependent on the only expert?
The operations in a complex production plant are difficult to understand, even for experienced technicians. While operating and observation programs have been available at the control level for a long time, no visual help has existed for robots so far, so that only a few specialists really know how to deal with them.

Challenges during commissioning

Information density

With the rising use of robots, the volume of data has increased dramatically. Key information is out of reach due to the impracticality of manual analysis.

Requirements

Tight schedules, late information and changes to the plant increase the time pressure. As a result, precision suffers, which means that quality requirements are rarely met in full.

Competencies

Partial subcontracting as well as freelance programmers often leads to qualitatively different results. This raises the question of responsibility.

Best Practice

Since Dressler Automation is a system integrator itself, we benefit from RoboLive® on a daily basis.

0%
less personnel during
commissioning
In our last project we only needed half the personnel during commissioning.
0%
less total effort
Futhermore we reduced around a quarter of the usual work effort.
We succeeded primarily because with Path Calibration we shifted work from commissioning to planning and programming. Although this required a small amount of additional work up front, it resulted in immense quality improvements in addition to the time and personnel savings.
In addition, we continuously documented and controlled our commissioning with the Process Visualization, so that all changes and adjustments were traceable at any time. This enabled us to correct all errors early on, so that significantly less refinement was necessary. Thanks to the documented quality, no warranty claims needed to be made afterwards.

Savings potential

RoboLive® minimizes and prevents various cost factors that usually occur during the commission of manufacturing plants.
