Is your robot sitting idle, underperforming or no longer suited to your production requirements?
Before investing in a completely new system, talk to Industrial Robotics about reprogramming, retrofitting or redeploying your existing robotic equipment.
Our engineers work with industrial robots, collaborative robots and automation systems from a wide range of manufacturers. Whether your robot was originally supplied by us, another integrator or purchased second-hand, we can assess your existing system and determine how it can be put back to productive use.
Industrial Robotics can assist with:
Rather than automatically replacing existing equipment, we assess what you already have and identify opportunities to improve its performance, flexibility and useful life.
We support robotic and automation systems across a broad range of manufacturers and technologies, including:
ABB | Universal Robots | KUKA | FANUC | OMRON | Yaskawa | Comau | Delta
We can also assist with SCARA robots, PLC-controlled automation, SCADA systems and integrated manufacturing equipment.
If your robot or automation platform isn’t listed, contact us. Our engineering team can review your system and advise whether we can support it.
Every production environment is different. That’s why we use the programming approach best suited to the equipment, application and operational requirements.
Block-Based Development Frameworks (BDF) –Â Modular programming can provide a more accessible way for operators to modify robot actions, sequences and production parameters without continually rewriting the underlying program.
This can be particularly useful for high-mix production, prototyping and manufacturers wanting greater flexibility from their automation.
Offline Programming (OLP) –Â Offline programming allows robot programs and processes to be developed and tested within a virtual environment.
Simulation can help assess robot reach, collisions, trajectories and cycle times before changes are deployed to the physical system, potentially reducing disruption to production.
Line-by-Line Programming –Â For applications requiring complex logic, precise motion, advanced I/O or tight cycle times, our engineers can work with manufacturer-specific robot programming languages and environments.
This includes platforms such as ABB RAPID, KUKA KRL and Universal Robots URScript.
Hybrid Programming –Â Some applications benefit from combining different approaches.
We can develop solutions that combine operator-friendly interfaces and adjustable production parameters with more sophisticated underlying robot and automation logic.
Robots are often installed for one production requirement and then left unchanged as the business evolves.
Production volumes change. Products change. Tooling changes. Processes change.
The robot, however, may still be perfectly capable of performing valuable work.
Reprogramming or redeploying existing equipment may provide an alternative to purchasing an entirely new robotic system.
Industrial Robotics can assess your existing equipment, its current programming and your new production requirements to determine what may be possible.
You don’t need to have purchased your robot from Industrial Robotics.
Your equipment may have been:
Our engineers can assess the existing system and determine whether it can be reprogrammed, retrofitted, repaired, integrated or redeployed for your current requirements.
Depending on the condition and capability of your existing equipment, upgrading a robotic system can involve more than changing its program.
We can assess opportunities to integrate or upgrade:
The objective is simple: extract greater value from the automation equipment you already own wherever technically and commercially practical.
Have an industrial robot or cobot that isn’t delivering what you need?
Don’t assume you need to replace it.
Talk to Industrial Robotics about your existing equipment, the problem you’re experiencing and what you need the system to do now.
Our engineering team can assess your application and discuss the options for reprogramming, retrofitting or redeploying your robotic system.
Contact Industrial Robotics today to request an assessment of your existing robotic system.Â
