Realtime Robotics’ RapidPlan software program automates the programming, deployment and management of business robots. | Supply: Realtime Robotics
Realtime Robotics and Siemens have partnered to combine Realtime’s RapidPlan software program with Siemens Course of Simulate. RapidPlan might be provided as a part of Siemens’ Tecnomatix portfolio.
The partnership will enable Siemens prospects to make use of Realtime’s robotic movement planning and management software program, RapidPlan, with out leaving Siemens Course of Simulate. The combination permits customers to visualise, prioritize and simulate robotic process plans. Customers can then validate these process plans by way of digital commissioning.
Realtime’s RapidPlan software program, which was launched in June 2022, automates the programming, deployment and management of business robots. The software program calculates robotic paths and avoids collisions throughout operation. With the software program, customers create a digital twin of their robotic work cell in simulation after which level and click on on robots are goal factors to create process plans.
“Robotic programming and process planning has been a time-consuming – and albeit, troublesome – course of for a lot too lengthy. We based Realtime Robotics to alter that after and for all,” George Konidaris, co-founder and chief roboticist at Realtime Robotics, mentioned. “This integration with Siemens will make it a lot simpler for these utilizing Course of Simulate to get rid of collisions and rapidly take robotic process plans from simulation to actuality.”
The combination will assist Siemens’ prospects streamline cell commissioning, enhance decision-making, rapidly consider and validate choices and create computerized by way of factors and interlocks all whereas working instantly in Course of Simulate.
“The mix of Course of Simulate with Realtime Robotics’ automated movement planning and interlocking has offered a major enchancment to our effectivity, lowering our off-line programming efforts by greater than 80%,” Michael Schaubmayr, the Group Supervisor of Mechanical Engineering Simulation at VALIANT TMS, mentioned. “This presents to us a tangible and strategic benefit within the business.”
Realtime lately raised $14.4 million in funding for its movement planning software program. Soundproof Ventures led the funding spherical, which additionally included participation from Heroic Ventures and SIP World Companions. The most recent spherical brings the corporate’s complete funding so far to greater than $60 million.
The corporate is a former resident startup of MassRobotics. It moved out in 2019 after it grew to 30-plus staff. You may learn extra concerning the founding of Realtime Robotics in this profile written by MIT.
