New software improves the performance of robotic picking lines
ABB RobotStudio Picking PowerPac simplifies the design and programming of complex robotic pick-and-pack systems
ABB Robotics (abb.com/robotics) has introduced the Robot Studio Picking PowerPac, which combines two prominent ABB software technologies – RobotStudio and PickMaster 3 – into a single bundle, greatly simplifying both the design and programming of complex robotic picking-and-packing systems.
The RobotStudio Picking PowerPac boosts the performance of picking lines, allowing systems to be optimized in the 3D virtual world before being built in the real world, with the risks in designing picking lines — such as the variations in the product inflow — thoroughly tested and refined before costly mistakes are made on the production line. The software allows for the improvement of existing lines configured using PickMaster 3 by recording current product flow with cameras and then feeding them into the Picking PowerPac for validation and optimization.
