New software offering to empower
manufacturers to configure and optimize assembly automation quickly
and easily
Today, Bright Machines®, an innovator in intelligent,
software-defined manufacturing, announced the launch of Brightware®
Studio, a new software offering that liberates manufacturers from
the constraints of traditional factory automation and introduces a
new self-service capability that enables flexible automation at
greater speed and lower cost.
Brightware Studio provides additional functionality to the
Bright Machines Microfactory – the company’s flagship solution
which combines intelligent software and modular building blocks to
automate repetitive assembly and inspection tasks. Based on a
modern, low/no code workflow, Brightware Studio is operated using
an intuitive user interface, giving production line operators and
technicians the ability to easily program, run, analyze and debug
the assembly process on the factory floor.
“Software-driven automation has proven to be one of the most
effective ways for manufacturers to stay resilient and competitive
in today’s unpredictable economic environment,” said Amar Hanspal,
CEO & Co-founder, Bright Machines. “Brightware Studio elevates
our current microfactory offering with enhanced software
functionality that equips customers with the flexibility to quickly
respond to changing consumer demands.”
New features include:
Functionality that empowers everyone in the factory:
- “Self-serve” process optimization: Once a Bright
Machines Microfactory is deployed to a customer facility, onsite
operators and technicians can use Brightware Studio to easily make
changes or add steps to the line – including reconfiguring assembly
instructions or adjusting device settings – to ensure an optimal
production process from start to finish.
- Reduced vendor dependency: Unlike traditional
automation, Brightware Studio’s self-service capabilities means
manufacturers are no longer reliant on the support of technical
experts, system integrators, or other automation vendors to make
changes, thereby improving their ability to respond to market
changes and increase the overall efficiency of their lines.
- Advanced customization: Within the unified dashboard,
users can set up customized warnings, alerts, and diagnostics to
tailor their automation experience.
Smart automation that is up and running in minutes:
- Seamlessly integrated with microfactories: Bright
Machines Microfactories will now come pre-integrated with
Brightware Studio, which incorporates standard assembly skills that
can be used to reprogram lines and accommodate product
changes.
- Line monitoring without downtime: With Brightware
Studio, customers can view their equipment status, track key
performance indicators, set up alerts and notifications, customize
data visualizations and more. Unlike with traditional automation
deployments, Brightware Studio works from day one, as all of the
integration work associated with data collection, data modeling,
semantic mapping, and data visualization has already been done
upfront.
- Standardized user experience: Brightware Studio’s
intuitive user interface and easy-to-use controls reduce the need
for training and enable operators to manage other Brightware Studio
lines with ease.
“Manufacturers face many bottlenecks in the path to automation,
including vendor or system integrator lock-ins, long deployment
times, and clunky user interfaces,” said Abhishek Pani, Chief
Product Officer, Bright Machines. “By removing many of the hurdles
that have traditionally made factory automation challenging or
laborious, Brightware Studio makes the management of
next-generation automation virtually effortless.”
Brightware Studio is a subscription-based offering that is
available on all new Bright Machines Microfactories.
