Realtime Robotics Integrates Robot Motion Planning & Control Software With Siemens Process Simulate

Integration Empowers Siemens Customers to Visualize, Simulate and Validate Robot Task Plans from Directly Within the Process Simulate Environment

BOSTON & CHICAGO — (BUSINESS WIRE) — September 12, 2022Realtime Robotics, the leader in collision-free autonomous motion planning for industrial robots, today announced that it has teamed with Siemens to integrate its RapidPlan software with Siemens Process Simulate, in the company’s Tecnomatix® portfolio.

This integration enables Siemens customers to utilize Realtime’s innovative robot motion planning and control software as a part of their regular workflow, without leaving Process Simulate. Customers using the integration can easily visualize, prioritize and simulate robot task plans, and validate them through virtual commissioning. Support for servo weld guns has also been added.

“The combination of Process Simulate with Realtime Robotics’ automated motion planning and interlocking has provided a significant improvement to our efficiency, reducing our off-line programming efforts by more than 80%,” said Michael Schaubmayr, Group Manager, Mechanical Engineering Simulation, at VALIANT TMS. “This presents to us a tangible and strategic advantage in the industry.”

Realtime Robotics RapidPlan software helps manufacturers design and deploy industrial automation faster and more efficiently. The programming, deployment and control of industrial robots is automated, autonomously generating and choreographing all robot movements. Users create a digital twin simulation of their workcell and then simply point and click on robots and target points to create and visualize collision-free task plans, saving weeks to months of programming time per project.

With Realtime Robotics for Siemens Process Simulate, positions and waypoints can be updated without reprogramming; time-consuming manual tasks can be reduced with automated and collision-free interlock programming; and a massive reduction in programming time can be realized.

Key benefits of this integration include:

“Robot programming and task planning has been a time-consuming - and frankly, difficult - process for far too long. We founded Realtime Robotics to change that once and for all,” added George Konidaris, co-founder and chief roboticist at Realtime Robotics. “This integration with Siemens will make it much easier for those using Process Simulate to eliminate collisions and quickly take robot task plans from simulation to reality.”

Realtime Robotics has a long-standing partnership with Siemens, with its technology helping to simplify robot programming and workcell coordination through the automation of motion programming. The company recently announced additional funding, and will be showcasing its technology at the annual International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) 2022, taking place from September 12-17, 2022, in Chicago, IL.
