Project con­sult­ing for your robot-based automa­tion project by our ArtiMinds Automa­tion Engi­neer­ing Team

ArtiMinds is the per­fect part­ner for your flex­i­ble robot-based automa­tion solu­tion and offers robotics con­sult­ing for any kind of appli­ca­tion. Our appli­ca­tion and robotics experts have tremen­dous expe­ri­ence in solv­ing chal­leng­ing automa­tion tasks requir­ing force sen­sors, vision sys­tems, com­plex tool paths or the inte­gra­tion of a mas­ter PLC.

The ArtiMinds experts of our Automa­tion Engi­neer­ing team will assist you in the plan­ning of your automa­tion project, the imple­men­ta­tion of a pro­to­type up to indus­tri­al­iza­tion. For process devel­op­ment and val­i­da­tion we use our in-house soft­ware solu­tions (>>learn more).

In-depth train­ing also ensures that you are able to cre­ate your indi­vid­ual flex­i­ble automa­tion solu­tions inde­pen­dently on site.

ArtiMinds Robotics Automation Whitepaper Guideline

Whitepa­per: “Achiev­ing Automa­tion – But How?”

Which work tasks can be rea­son­ably auto­mated? How do you find the man­u­fac­tur­ing processes with the great­est automa­tion poten­tial? What role does robot-based automa­tion play? And what is the best approach dur­ing plan­ning and imple­men­ta­tion to avoid pit­falls?
The whitepa­per pro­vides you with help­ful tips & tricks and guides you step by step from plan­ning to implementation.

Robotics Con­sult­ing with Full Cost Control

We divide our project sup­port into three phases. Thus, you have full cost con­trol at all times and the pos­si­bil­ity to ter­mi­nate the project after each phase with­out fur­ther costs in case of lack of fea­si­bil­ity, unsat­is­fac­tory results or even if the automa­tion project is not eco­nom­i­cally viable.
If required, we can draw on a wide net­work of part­ners to iden­tify the per­fect hard­ware for your project.

Phase 1: Gen­eral fea­si­bil­ity study to eval­u­ate the fea­si­bil­ity of your process

Here, the focus is on the gen­eral fea­si­bil­ity of the tech­no­log­i­cal core of the task, e.g. the assem­bly of a flex­i­ble ob-ject, the assem­bly of tol­er­ance-affected com­po­nents or the devel­op­ment of a prototype.

Phase 2: Con­cept validation

If the project results of the fea­si­bil­ity study are pos­i­tive, it will be pos­si­ble to sharpen the require­ments in more detail dur­ing con­cept val­i­da­tion by spec­i­fy­ing cer­tain frame­work para­me­ters such as cycle time, feed­ing, reach­a­bil­ity in exist­ing pro­duc­tion envi­ron­ments, speed etc.

Phase 3: Indus­tri­al­iza­tion in coop­er­a­tion with sys­tem integrator

In a third step, ArtiMinds sup­ports the trans­fer of the devel­oped pro­to­type and the gained process know-how into a stan­dard robot cell in coop­er­a­tion with a sys­tem inte­gra­tor or your inter­nal spe­cial machine construction.

“ArtiMinds has been a great addi­tion to my robotic pro­gram­ming capa­bil­i­ties. I’ve been able to per­form force con­trolled checks and move­ments that I would not have ever been able to with­out the software.”

“We always come to ArtiMinds with spe­cial requests. There we always find open ears and help­ful­ness. In this way a beau­ti­ful and sta­ble part­ner­ship has devel­oped between us.”

ZF FRIEDRICHSHAFEN

Kunde BSH

“The ArtiMinds tech­nol­ogy itself inte­grates eas­ily into exist­ing work­flows because the gen­er­ated code runs on the stan­dard con­troller of the robot.”

Plan­ning phase

Let´s start with a “ROBOT-SUP­PORTED AUTOMA­TION PROJECT”

Con­cept consultancy

ArtiMinds is a lead­ing ser­vice and solu­tion provider for demand­ing robot appli­ca­tions. Ben­e­fit from our many years of exten­sive expe­ri­ence in sen­sor-con­trolled robotics with our robotics con­sult­ing. We develop inno­v­a­tive con­cepts and solu­tions for your idea for automa­tion with robots. A cus­tomized, inno­v­a­tive and effi­cient con­cept from ArtiMinds con­sid­ers aspects such as fea­si­bil­ity, tech­ni­cal imple­men­ta­tion, ben­e­fits, effort and much more. By using our robot soft­ware ArtiMinds RPS and LAR, we also reduce the need for pur­pose machin­ery to a minimum.
Con­sid­er­ing state-of-the-art tech­nol­ogy, our con­cept con­sul­tancy will reduce the time to launch your chal­leng­ing automa­tion solu­tion significantly.

Iden­ti­fi­ca­tion of key challenges

Each task has its own par­tic­u­lar chal­lenges, which are iden­ti­fied and nar­rowed down by our spe­cial­ists. This min­i­mizes risks right from the start and sig­nif­i­cantly short­ens the time required for fea­si­bil­ity stud­ies for new approaches.

Imple­men­ta­tion phase

From a fea­si­bil­ity study to the imple­men­ta­tion of a prototype

Fea­si­bil­ity studies

Fea­si­bil­ity stud­ies are used to inves­ti­gate and eval­u­ate key chal­lenges and con­cepts. ArtiMinds coop­er­ates with all well-known robot man­u­fac­tur­ers and has a wide range of robots and periph­er­als in-house, which i.a. has a pos­i­tive effect on the time required. Fea­si­bil­ity stud­ies build the foun­da­tion to dive into new areas of flex­i­ble automa­tion solu­tions. Finally, we will pro­vide you with com­pre­hen­sive doc­u­men­ta­tion con­tain­ing detailed insights into the exam­ined process based on ArtiMinds LAR.

Real­iza­tion of tech­nol­ogy prototypes

ArtiMinds fully sup­ports you in the real­iza­tion of pro­to­types of your automa­tion solu­tion. Highly sophis­ti­cated tech­ni­cal chal­lenges, where no turnkey solu­tion is avail­able on the mar­ket, will be addressed and real­ized. The ArtiMinds solu­tion for your automa­tion project will con­vince you: The result will be an out­stand­ing tech­nol­ogy flag­ship that can lead to a sig­nif­i­cant com­pet­i­tive advantage.

Knowl­edge transfer

Cre­ate your own robot-sup­ported automa­tion processes with ArtiMinds RPS

Trans­fer of process know-how

The stan­dard­iza­tion of work­flows leads to more effec­tive­ness and effi­ciency. And this is exactly what is pos­si­ble with the ArtiMinds soft­ware fam­ily, eas­ily and con­sis­tently. One of the main ben­e­fits is the man­age­ment, refine­ment and reusabil­ity of your process know-how lead­ing to a sig­nif­i­cant com­pet­i­tive advantage.

The imple­men­ta­tion of these func­tion­al­i­ties is an expres­sion of our con­vic­tion that know-how is not an island. At ArtiMinds robotics con­sult­ing and a project is only con­sid­ered com­plete after a com­pre­hen­sive knowl­edge trans­fer, which marks the end of every project. We want you to act as a spe­cial­ist for your robot-sup­ported processes and, build­ing on this, suc­ces­sively expand or deepen your knowledge.

Strate­gi­cally orga­nize and refine process know-how

In busi­ness life, but espe­cially in indus­trial man­u­fac­tur­ing, stand­ing still is not a desir­able state. In terms of opti­miz­ing exist­ing processes and devel­op­ing new ones, the strate­gic orga­ni­za­tion of process know-how is of great rel­e­vance. Here, you can count on the exper­tise of ArtiMinds as well as for fur­ther refine­ment. For us it is impor­tant to iden­tify poten­tials that have not been used so far and to define a clear struc­ture together with you.
At ArtiMinds your project is in good hands. Con­tact us and let us find the opti­mal flex­i­ble automa­tion solu­tion for you.
