Omron provides its Sysmac Studio 3D simulation software to industrial companies. The company claims to be the first in the industry to provide a system that "can integrate and verify the movements of robots and peripheral devices that make up factories."
Sysmac Studio 3D is able to digitally reconstruct the entire object and verify the operation with the same accuracy as a real machine. Omron claims that it will use Sysmac Studio 3D to innovate in terms of its clients' work efficiency and the production capacity of their plants.
Sysmac Studio 3D Simulation simplifies the operational simulations of production facilities by simply adding optional licenses for simulation functions enabling programming of the "Sysmac Studio" software of the OMRON flagship automation controller to the "NJ / NX Series" machines.
Omron, becoming the first in the industry to be able to control and verify robots and other peripherals in one operation, will introduce innovations in the area of design efficiency of facilities and improvement of the plant's production capacity.
Operational simulation can be performed with high accuracy and in real time because it is based on the emulator method. In addition, this system makes the equipment visible digitally and allows for initial verification of movements before its actual commissioning, thanks to which the time required to confirm the equipment's production capacity, commissioning and modification is reduced.
In addition, the operational status of real equipment is checked and digitally monitored after the facility works, thanks to which the system contributes to shortening the time to explain the cause of irregularities.
The main features and benefits of integrating Sysmac Studio 3D simulation features include:
It enables the mechanical designer responsible for setting the equipment specifications and the electrical designer responsible for programming the control of the facility to simultaneously discuss and design at an early stage of the facility's design. As a result, plants can realize high production capacity and prevent errors.
Real-time connections to hardware are not required because emulations in Sysmac Studio are used to run simulations. In addition, the plant's production capacity can be digitized.
Facilitates the commissioning of the next facility by reusing digital resources.
Omron works on innovations in various production plants as part of the strategic concept of "innovative automation", consisting of three innovations - "Integrated", "Intelligent (intelligence development through ICT)", "Interactive (new harmonization between people and machines)"
By enabling robots and peripherals to be controlled and simulated with a single controller, Omron says it will accelerate 'integrated' and 'intelligent' innovations at the manufacturing plant, which will be key to implementing the concept of 'innovative automation' and dramatically improve productivity at the production plant.
