Realtime Robotics launched Resolver, a new cloud-based solution that dramatically accelerates the design and deployment of robotic workcells.
“It is widely understood that the future of the manufacturing industry lies in robotics and automation. However, that future is slow to materialize because of the outdated, time-consuming, and inefficient processes commonplace in the industry,” says Peter Howard, CEO of Realtime Robotics. “Few manufacturers have the time or resources needed to enact real change. We’ve engineered Resolver to help manufacturers improve their engineering, programming and production processes and drive greater value from their current and future investments in robots.”
Key takeaways:
· Realtime Robotics’ Resolver works by intelligently selecting and testing potential solutions tens to thousands of times faster than any human programmer, quickly generating optimal, collision-free motion paths and interlock signals.
· With Resolver, organizations can automatically discover the fastest target order, accelerating workcell design from months to days, all while decreasing engineering effort by 50%.
· Resolver gives users on-demand, infinitely scalable robotic simulation power that can be used to speed the process of generating accurate proposals; designing optimal tools and fixtures that support cycle time goals; producing optimal robot programs; adjusting for as-built deviations during commissioning; and assessing and minimizing the impact of product design changes in the manufacturing phase.
· Resolver supports path planning with any number of robots, at any phase of the workflow, generating results in minutes.
· Organizations need only upload the workcell information into a new project, configure their sequencing and conditions, and execute a run. In minutes, Resolver will generate motion paths, including interlocks, with a superhuman cycle time.
“Resolver has the computational power to generate better motion paths than human programmers in both simple and complex workcells,” adds Howard. “This is because Resolver searches the possibilities open to robotic arms, while humans tend to stay within the possibilities of the human arm.”
