Learn how In-House Solutions, a manufacturing solutions provider, gained flexibility in application development and significant time savings in offline robot programming with Visual components 3D simulation.
Powerful simulation software for offline robot programming
In-House Solutions – Visual Components collaboration began, when In-House Solutions contacted Visual Components about the possibility of working together to create more flexible solutions for offline programming of robots.
“We had this idea for a product that could do offline robot programming as well as handle the wide range of simulations that manufacturers typically need. »
He said 3D simulation software Visual Components was an ideal candidate for the role.
“We found Visual Components to be very powerful simulation software in a competitive price range. Additionally, Visual Components employees were knowledgeable, open, and progressive in their business endeavors. »
In-House Solutions has gained a number of valuable benefits from using Visual Components tools. These include being able to offer their customers considerable time savings , especially in the area of offline programming of robots, high flexibility in application development and, most importantly, many satisfied customers.
A flexible and versatile simulation platform
In-House Solutions has extensive expertise in offline robot programming and what they were initially looking for was primarily a platform that could be used to develop a number of different applications.
“Visual Components is an extremely versatile platform.
» “We can visualize the entire process from start to finish rather than focusing on just one aspect. The robot library is extensive and includes configurations and brands that are not programmable with other software packages. The ability to use Python scripts also allows us to customize the software, so we can provide the end user with the best solution for their specific application. »
Hard-to-Believe Benefits for Customers
Simplifying their clients' processes is often a major objective for In-House Solutions clients.
“Very often, our customers have very complex robot trajectories. They are used to spending a lot of time on manual path generation. »
Visual Components solution is known to its users as a time-saver , however, according to Edward House, customers of in-house solutions often find it hard to believe how much more efficient the company can make their processes.
“They won’t believe it until they see it!” We literally have to break it down for them. We do a lot of sample applications to show how it works. »
Indeed, the time savings that In-House Solutions has been able to bring to their customers with Visual Components are impressive. The time spent generating paths is reduced to at least half of what it was before. Often the time saved is around 80 or 90%. No other software allows you to process large paths so quickly.
“We count the time saved in days. Typically, path generation took several days. Now we can do it in just a few hours! »
The In-House Solutions service package includes customer support once the initial process is completed and e.g. simulation support, training and reprogramming of robot cells are provided to their customers. Visual Components solutions play a key role in several stages of the In-House Solutions customer process.
