- Variation Simulation Analysis (VSA) increases the success of automation processes and increases productivity through collaboration and iteration of design process. Calculating predicted variabilities at critical interface areas in assembly and incorporating these results in production improves system performance and lowers overall costs.
- Weld Distortion Analysis (WDA) simulates welding of parts and components to predict material distortion during the production process. Material distortion negatively affects dimensional accuracy of parts increasing scrap, rework and the cost-per-part.
- Virtual Prototyping or System Simulation is conducted collaboratively with customers to create multiple digital proof-of-concepts to ensure that robotic system designs meet production requirements. Collaboration early in the process sets clear performance expectations for delivered production systems.
- Offline programming gets products to market faster by identifying automation inefficiencies to increase system uptime and throughput. Optimizing robotic programs is challenging in production settings as it disrupts normal operations that reduce productivity.
