…well-developed traction in three vertical segments: Automotive welding and painting, where we decrease robotic system lifecycle costs by upwards of 50% while increasing throughput rates by 10% to 30% with our RapidPlan autonomous path-planning product. Mixed-case palletizing, where we increase throughput rates by 20% to 40% through autonomous path planning for multiple robots, and massively decrease error driven down-time through closed-loop monitoring of the actual build to prevent time-consuming crashes between robots and things that may have shifted on the pallet after placement. Digital twin simulation of the robotic component of automation systems, where we provide autonomous path planning for…

…among them a welding simulator and an automotive body painting simulator from Lincoln Electrics and Honda. Aimed at providing industrial skills training, the simulation systems incorporate not just immersive visuals but also physical props—replicas of weld guns and spray paint guns used in real operations. The appeal for the use of ARVR training comes from the expected cost savings. Generally skill training in welding or spray painting in VR costs a lot less since it doesn't require a specialized location, vehicle components to test-paint, or cleanup operations. The use of replica equipment instead of the unnatural game controllers goes along…

…technology is incorporated into the welding and vehicle spray painting applications deployed by Lincoln Electrics and Honda, among others. In Flaim Systems' firefighting applications as well as Sixense's training apps, the use of replica equipment plays an important role. In Flaim Trainer, users use a haptic-enabled water nozzle that can simulate water pressure. In Sixense's spray simulation application, users use an industry-standard paint gun. The incorporation of eye tracking, hand tracking, and replica equipment that help build muscle memory brings AR-VR-powered training to a new level, setting it apart from entertainment applications that focus primarily on immersive visuals. Analyst firm…

…build and development cycles. Unfortunately, typical approaches of manually painting each and every model is time consuming,” says Hadas Schragenheim, rapid prototyping manager, Stratasys. “Our agreement with Pantone sets the stage for a revolution in design and prototype processes. As the industry’s first 3D printers officially 'PANTONE Validated,' we’re allowing designers to build realistic prototypes faster than ever before—shrinking design-to-prototype and accelerating product time-to-market.” The goal, according to the companies, is that Stratasys customers can access Pantone functionality directly within the GrabCAD Print environment by July 2019—assigning and applying colors to 3D printed models by browsing the relevant Pantone book.…

…working on the plane's design, the Substance user is painting the design and the Unreal user is composing,” Huang pointed out. Without Omniverse, the workflow may be sequential, with one completing his or her potion and sending it off to another. However, with Omniverse, the workflow could be simultaneous, all in sync. “With Omniverse, artists can see live updates made by other artists working in different applications. They can also see changes reflected in multiple tools at the same time. As a result, artists now have the flexibility to use the best tool for the task at hand,” writes NVIDIA…

…into soldering and welding, materials handling, assembling and disassembling, painting and dispensing, cutting and processing, milling, and others. Materials handling is the largest segment by function in the industrial robotics market. In 2012, Asia Pacific was the largest revenue generator that accounted for 49.45% of the total market share. The dominance of Asia Pacific is attributed to growth in number of countries such as China, India, Japan, Taiwan and Australia among others investing heavily in research and development infrastructure developments. Rapid growth in automation demands coupled with reduction of duties on refurbished goods has also fueled growth in the industrial…

…from the auto industry. As an example, automating the painting process of automobiles has taken the employees out of poor working conditions where they were exposed to hazardous fumes and provided a much more consistent painting application. Automobile painting by robots provides far superior quality. Another example is the reduction in repetitive stress disorders in employees. Relieving employees from tedious assembly lines with automation reduces the incidents of injury and increases the quality of assembly by using robots that consistently perform the same tasks the same way each and every time. Automation Software Improving Quality Understanding the value of flexible…
