OnRobot offers D:PLOY, an automated platform for building, running, monitoring and re-deploying collaborative applications. By automating the process of getting a robotic application up and running, D:PLOY allows complete applications to be deployed and redeployed directly on the manufacturing floor in a few simple steps with zero programming-all within a few hours.
The D:PLOY platform supports palletizing, CNC machine tending, packaging and transferring (pick & place) applications as well as additional processes.
D:PLOY automates many of the manual steps necessary today for building and running an application. D:PLOY automatically discovers most of the installed hardware, and then generates the robot motion based on the obstacles and cell boundaries defined in the workspace. The program logic, signals exchange, event handling and robot movement are automatically created for the entire application based on a few inputs, such as workpiece attributes and pick position.
"D:PLOY offers reduction in robotic cell deployment time and complexity," said a spokesperson. "For example, initial deployment of a palletizing application drops from 40 hours to 4 hours, for a 90% time savings. Just as critically, when production requirements change, D:PLOY gives the flexibility to quickly re-deploy the application for new products or workpieces. Real-time monitoring improves productivity and minimizes downtime."
Simon Potzkai, Robotics Sales Engineer at Alexander Bürkle, an OnRobot system integrator and a D:PLOY beta tester, said, "D:PLOY simplifies the task of building and integrating a robotic cell with an innovative approach that does not require any type of programming. With the current shortage of engineers, that is a huge advantage for integrators. By making it easier and faster for us to deploy automation, we can serve more customers and help them more quickly realize the advantages of automation. That is a win-win for everyone."
As an automated platform that works with many leading robot brands and can be applied to a wide range of common applications, D:PLOY can help speed up robotic adoption within the large untapped segment of small and mid-sized enterprises, the company reported.
