Robot Programmer

Build, Simulate, Validate and Program Industrial Robot workcells

Robot Programmer Role Overview

The DELMIA 3DEXPERIENCE Robot Programmer Role can deliver high-quality, collision-free programs in the native robot language with minimal intervention on the shop floor.

In the virtual world, programmers and designers work in concert to create the most productive tooling operations and robot cycle times. Programming can move ahead independently without interrupting production, and robot programs perform predictably the first time. Costs of programming and production are significantly reduced, and products move to market more quickly.

Discover Features

Virtual Environment for Programming

Moving programming off the shop floor to a virtual environment immediately results in significant cost and productivity benefits:

  • Programmers do not need to wait until the tools are built to create and validate programs.
  • Production on the shop floor can move ahead uninterrupted while new programs are being authored and validated.
  • Programs work safely and predictably. Designs have already been validated. Programmers have a working knowledge of tool operation. Collision damage and delays are greatly reduced. There is no penalty for crashing a robot in the preproduction virtual world, where fixes are easier and quicker.
  • Offline programmers are freed from the necessity of making shop floor fixes. They can use their time to make workcells operational within the project timeline and deliver consistent production quality

Robot Programmer Capabilities

Moving programming off the shop floor to a virtual environment

  • Extensive libraries of robots and controllers

    Robot Programmer integrates programming and visualization. Working from extensive libraries of robots and controllers, programmers position resources, program individual robots, debug robot motion trajectories, and orchestrate workcell sequences between robots and other resources.

  • Store and re-use their specific programming practices

    Programmers can use templates to store and re-use their specific programming practices as corporate IP. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform lets multiple programmers work on different robots within the same workcell at the same time, reducing project people hours.

  • Reduced programming lead time

    Robot programmers can create, verify and validate programs in a virtual world that is separated from real-world production and download programs in native robot languages. They spend less time on the shop floor implementing fixes and workarounds while production waits. Production keeps rolling and time-to-market shrinks.

  • Collision free Trajectories

    Robot Programmer provides comprehensive simulations of the workcell process, programmers can visualize tasks and ensure that robots move from source to target on collision free trajectories.

  • Load balancing and reduced cycle times

    Programmers can simulate robots singly or in parallel to analyze reachability and task assignments. The workload can be equalized among robots to meet cycle time requirements. Fasteners can be analyzed for the most optimum assignment across multiple robots in a line.

  • Faster response to requests for quotation

    Cross-discipline collaboration on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform enables the concurrent validation of tooling and process plans—which means that companies can respond faster and more accurately to RFQs.

  • Offline programmers are freed from the necessity of making shop floor fixes

    They can use their time to make workcells operational within the project timeline and deliver consistent production quality.

  • Collaborative workflow

    Perform seamless collaboration workflows with 3DEXPERIENCE platform

Manufacturing Items Engineer

Define, compare, manage and update the Manufacturing Bill of Materials with the DELMIA Manufacturing Items Engineer

Manufacturing Items Engineer Role Overview

Define, compare, manage and update the Manufacturing Bill of Material (MBOM) from the Engineering Bill of Material (EBOM)

Leveraging the power of the 3DEXPERIENCE® platform, and Manufacturing Items Management allows a production engineer to build a manufacturing bill of materials from the engineering bill of materials. In doing so, the engineer can define manufacture intent such that as the engineering bill of materials changes, so does the manufacturing bill of materials.

Discover Features

Manage your SOLIDWORKS BOM

DELMIA Manufactured Items Engineer allows the Manufacturing Bill of Material or MBOM (also known as the Manufacturing Items Structure) to be defined, managed, and updated directly from the 3D design data. Manufactured Items Engineer is a web based solution that uses the 3D Product Structure as input for authoring the Manufacturing Items Structure, allowing it to be leveraged across Manufacturing and Production.

When creating the MBOM, users can choose to display the Engineering Structure, the Manufacturing Structure, or both. Users can easily create a structure of the new MBOM. They can simply drag and drop the design data to begin from scratch, create it from the existing product structure, or from a template they have previously created. Users can review the status of items as they create the new structure and as it is updated from the Product Structure.

  • Easily creates the Manufactured Items Structure directly from the 3D Design data
  • Allows users to update the whole manufacturing BOM for all impacted Manufacturing Items
  • Reduces deployment time via an easy-to-use web client with 3D visualization, which provides users with a more accurate representation of the MBOM
  • User defined templates save time by reducing re-works

Today's Meeting Problems

Nonproductive meetings with no action items

No Structure

Operation team meetings typically lack structure and context. The majority of meetings waste time because they lack focus and structure to drive specific outcomes and actions.

Overly Complex

Teams do not like complexity. Today’s workers have enough challenges already – they will not adopt software or processes that are not simple to use and tailored to their needs.

Too Much Data

Decisions need to be made using information that is not easy to visualize. Teams need to understand ever-changing product and process data, KPIs (key performance indicators) and a myriad of reference information.

Disconnected

Many teams work separately and lack good working relationships. Whether within or between teams the impact on business continuity is high (especially in today’s disruptive environment).

Top Down

Organizations enforce “top down” processes. Management dictates operations processes that disempower teams and stifle innovation that could otherwise be adding values to the organization.

Wrong Behavior

Driving lean operations improvements requires a change in team behaviors. Traditional team interactions are not truly collaborative and often result in missed opportunities and follow up.

The Lean Team Player solves meeting issues:

Team collaboration and meetings needs are addressed:
  1. Allows teams to collaborate effectively within/between teams.
  2. Allows teams to drive adoption of Lean principles across manufacturing and operations.
  3. Allows teams to reinforce problem-solving behaviors and manage corrective actions.
  4. Allows teams to engage workers and make them more productive.
  5. Allows teams to make rapid decisions using information that often changes and isn't easy to visualize.
Lean Team Player benefits:
  • Make the most of every team meeting
  • Rapidly increase team performance and efficiency
  • Easily deploy and adopt Lean principles
  • Empower teams to solve problems autonomously
  • Increase worker engagement and understanding of their roles and contributions

NC Shop Floor Programmer has the capability to compute gouge volume in the workpiece, making it easier for users to prioritize and process gouges in machining programs. Near misses at user-defined safety distances are also identified, and multiple tool change locations are supported for a more accurate simulation of the machine motions. The simulation context, saved in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, allows the user to organize his review in the most convenient way and helps to ensure traceability of the validation task. It allows users to program, optimize and validate machining in the most efficient way. It lets NC Programmers identify toolpath errors early in the process and shortens programming time.

  • A Setup Wizard and an immersive, context-based user interface

    A toolpath creation wizard and context-based menus are available for a quick 3D setup and creation of the NC toolpath. If a user clicks on a help icon while editing a parameter, an image describing the parameter pops up in the panel. Users can quickly organize programs in the activity process tree using copy-and-paste functions. Tool changes and machine rotations are automatically generated and can be visualized in the activity process tree.

  • Automatic association of prismatic machining features with part design

    Automatically recognizes the prismatic machining features of the product design, significantly reducing toolpath programming time. A manufacturing view of the design part is generated with all the drilling and milling features that are to be machined. Through this embedded feature-recognition technology, NC Shop Floor Programmer allows geometrical-machined, feature-creation design parts—even on those with no design feature specifications.

  • Creation and optimization of 2.5-axis milling, drilling and probing operations

    Offers a broad range of machining operations for toolpath definition, including pocketing, contouring, roughing & sweeping operations. These operations can be defined as multi-level and multi-pass. At the user’s request, the tool path can be optimized for high-speed machining. Point-to-point machining is available, as well as a full set of axial operations from standard drilling to complex boring and chamfering. NC Shop Floor Programmer offers unique functionalities for creating and verifying milling, drilling, and probing operations. Probing operations are very flexible and can be customized with associated user parameters.

  • High-end strategies from roughing to finishing for 3-axis geometry

    Offers a full set of 3-axis high-end strategies from roughing to finishing, such as sweeping, Z-Level, advanced finishing and deburring. It automatically generates toolpaths for the entire part. Users can also author operations needed to machine specific features. Users can select a roughing strategy—such as back-and-forth, helical or part-offset—based on the material and the shape of the part. NC Shop Floor Programmer analyzes tool assemblies during computation to generate a collision-free toolpath. As roughing operations are defined, the in-process part is computed and used as the starting point for the next set of operations. Users can then create a new roughing operation with a smaller diameter tool. This toolpath is automatically generated based on material that remains from any previous operation, including roughing.

  • Wire EDM Machining

    Simulate, validate, and program wire Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) processes. Users have the ability to compute the wire EDM path and program the synchronization of each end of the wire to the part contours. Users can implement 2- and 4-axes programming capabilities with dedicated wire EDM strategies, visualize and validate their program strategy, then produce the machine code. As with all DELMIA Machining applications, users can save and re-use best practices by creating the wire EDM paths, storing these in a template, and then re-using the same strategy on other parts.
