ABB Robotics (hereinafter referred to as ABB)'s new Robot Studio AR Viewer can use smartphones or tablets to automate robots and visualize the location and methods appropriate for the process. ABB has released a new augmented reality viewer added to PC-based robot studio offline programming software, allowing the robot to see if the application is appropriate.

The Robot Studio AR Viewer app can be used to test all models generated by robot studios, and users can get ideas about the size and size of robots or robot cells and figure out how to place them at factory sites to suit existing production. In particular, this app, which uses equipment and augmented reality technology, overlays the modeled solution into a real production environment, extends it to its entire size, and rotates at various angles to achieve the best results.

The advantage of the AR viewer extends to the part where you can see the actual model. The timeline function allows you to check the periodic time and move quickly to a specific point in the animation, which can improve performance or solve potential problems.

Meanwhile, ABB's robot studio software continues to set standards for robot simulation and offline programming. In addition, the user can design, organize and test everything from the virtual environment to the complete robot system, so that the solution can be tested and improved before the solution is actually implemented. In addition, using a robot studio, it is also possible to install a new product line faster and increase it at the maximum speed during commissioning.

“Many companies hope to implement robot automation, but they don’t know where to start,” said an ABB official. “Robot studios are intuitive digital tools that help simplify the installation and use of robots.”“We will be able to see in advance how to improve the productivity and flexibility of existing processes,” he said.
