Solution Recognized for Ability to Eliminate
Production Bottlenecks and Improve Manufacturing Productivity
Realtime Robotics, the leader in collision-free autonomous
motion planning for industrial robots, today announced that it has
been named the Gold Winner of the 2024 Merit Awards for Technology
in the Robotics category.
Realtime Robotics’ Optimization solution uses a combination of
proprietary software and experienced robotics and application
engineering insights to drastically improve a manufacturer’s
overall productivity by reducing a workcell’s cycle time. The
solution analyzes a customer’s existing digital twin, identifying
bottleneck areas and recommending improvements based on desired
parameters. This can all be done without interfering with ongoing
production efforts.
“We knew that some of the biggest challenges for manufacturers
were assembly line bottlenecks that increased cycle time and slowed
productivity. While it was commonly understood that improving robot
movement plans and paths could break a bottleneck, it was also a
manual, time-consuming process that few organizations had time
for,” said Peter Howard, CEO of Realtime Robotics. “We developed
our Optimization solution to automate the process, rapidly
evaluating and testing out potential robot movements and actions
alongside different configurations, ultimately finding the solution
with the shortest cycle time. This award is a testament to the hard
work of our team in bringing a solution to life that can so
dramatically impact a manufacturing operation.”
Customers need only send Realtime their simulation CAD file for
the bottlenecked cells. The company’s engineers will then use
proprietary algorithms and expertise to optimize the workcell in
just days, rapidly generating and testing hundreds of thousands of
potential robot paths, sequences, poses, end-of-arm-tool rotations
and complex robot interlocks, until cycle times are reduced with
better robot paths and sequences. Once the results are validated,
they can immediately be transferred to the production floor.
Realtime Robotics Optimization solution was also recently named
the 2024 winner of the prestigious Innovation and Entrepreneurship
in Robotics & Automation (IERA) award, presented annually by
the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society Industrial Activities
Board and the International Federation of Robotics (IFR). Customers
including Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles and Valiant TMS have
already dramatically cut down robot programming time and realized
improved cycle times as a result of working with Realtime
Robotics.
