Features and Benefits

Precision and Accuracy

With RCS-based simulations that replicate real-world conditions, Instasim ensures high precision in robot simulation. This accuracy is crucial in industries where differences in application speed or cycle time can lead to significant quality issues or operational setbacks.

Manufacturer-Agnostic Compatibility

Instasim stands out with its universal applicability across different robot brands. Currently supporting KUKA and ABB robots, our platform is designed with a standardized interface for RCS modules, enabling future expansions to virtually all industrial robot manufacturers.

Versatile Application

A standout feature of Instasim is its capability to operate RCS modules independently from the client's local machine. This innovative approach allows for greater flexibility in application, as it removes the need for local installation and maintenance of RCS modules.

Instasim in Action: Cycle Time Optimization in Process Simulate

This demonstration showcases our Process Simulate plugin in action. By providing immediate feedback on robot path changes, it significantly reduces the time spent on waiting for foreground robot simulations that block the user interface.

Use Cases

Real-Time Cycle Time Optimization Feedback

Instasim takes industrial robotics to the next level with its real-time simulation capabilities. Our innovative technology integrates seamlessly with the Offline Programming software Process Simulate, commonly used in the automotive industry. This integration enables engineers to receive immediate feedback while editing robot paths, dramatically enhancing efficiency and productivity. With Instasim, every modification made to a path initiates an automatic background simulation, providing engineers with instant updates on total run times and any time deltas. This feature not only accelerates the design process but also significantly reduces the downtime usually associated with traditional simulation methods that block the user interface.

Graphical Analysis Tools

Instasim is equipped to generate a wide array of detailed graphs, such as axis positions, accelerations and TCPF speed, facilitating a deeper and more intuitive understanding of robot programs. These visual tools are crucial for engineers in identifying optimization opportunities and making informed adjustments. A unique feature of Instasim is its interactive graph functionality; clicking on a point in the graph transports the simulation to the corresponding position, enabling smooth navigation through the robot's operational timeline. This capability greatly surpasses the standard offerings in Process Simulate, providing a more dynamic and user-friendly experience in program creation and analysis.

Program Optimization

Looking towards the future, Instasim is set to revolutionize the way industrial robot programs are optimized. Our planned development includes the ability to automate program optimization within specified parameters. This feature will utilize multiple simultaneous simulations, each varying in parameters according to sophisticated optimization algorithms. These algorithms, defined by the engineers, will target key performance indicators like cycle time reduction. By automating aspects of the offline programming process, Instasim aims to not only streamline operations but also to enhance the overall efficiency and effectiveness of industrial robot applications. This forward-thinking approach positions Instasim at the forefront of industrial robotics innovation, promising a new standard in robotic programming and operational excellence.
