Siemens Tecnomatix Process Simulate 2307

Tecnomatix Process Simulate is a digital manufacturing solution for verifying manufacturing processes in a 3D environment. Process Simulate is a major enabler of speed to market, allowing manufacturing organizations to virtually validate initial manufacturing concepts - throughout the life cycle of new product launches. The ability to leverage 3D product and resource data facilitates virtual validation, optimization and commissioning of complex manufacturing processes, resulting in faster launch and higher production quality.

Process Simulate allows the verification of the different segments of the manufacturing process. Assembly processes, human operations, welding, continuous processes such as laser welding and bonding and other robotic processes can be simulated in the same environment, which allows the simulation of virtual production zones. The simulation emulates realistic human behavior, robotic controllers and PLC logic.

The following new capabilities are available in Tecnomatix 2301:

Process Simulate Augmented Reality Digital Twin Alignment 

The new Process Simulate Augmented Reality Digital Twin Alignment (DTA) application is an easy-to-use, accurate engineering system to enhance quality, save time and lower costs during commissioning and production ramp-up phases. You can now capture information from real-life production and compare it to digital twins with augmented reality technology and inexpensive equipment, such as a low-cost camera. The uniqueness of the solution lies in the level of accuracy it can achieve, which is better than 1mm. DTA supports three main uses cases: weld point and bolt inspection, asset alignment and cell alignment. By comparing as-designed to as-built production, DTA can help detect differences earlier in the process, reducing the risk of major rework and added costs. 

Point cloud 

The Process Simulate Point Cloud app now supports up to 126 layers, a significant increase from the previous limit of 6. With this update, you can create more detailed point cloud segmentations using graphical selection or .NET API applications, which enables more accurate issue identification and improved hierarchy control. Additionally, you can work more efficiently with point cloud scan data by segmenting it directly in Process Simulate or using third-party tools. These layers can also be recreated in version 2209.

Camera detection area 

The new display camera envelope command helps you adjust camera positions for vision-based applications using the parametric virtual camera, camera 2D viewer and the new 3D detection area.

Robotics

Process Simulate Robotics helps you to program and validate your robotic processes in a dynamic 3D environment. It includes robotics applications for spot welding, metal processing, drilling & riveting, surface treatment and assembly.

The following new capabilities are available in Tecnomatix 2301.

Path editor

The latest updates to the path editor in 2301 provide impressive enhancements that enable you to directly edit parameter values of multiple locations with greater ease and accuracy. Once edited, the change is applied to all locations, allowing you to put edits into action more readily and delivering greater efficiencies when setting many parameters during path planning. Multi-editing is supported for most column types such as numeric, strings, dropdowns and more. While some columns do not allow multi-editing, it is supported in all controllers.

Realtime Robotics

Realtime Robotics (RTR) 2.0 is a software-only version of the original RTR hardware-based solution available directly in Process Simulate. There is no need to have RTR tool knowledge as you can export data with ease and use the Process Simulate collision functionality set by RTR.

Virtual controller (VRC)

We are excited to release a new product in 2301, the ABB VRC Manager, which is a joint venture between ABB and Tecnomatix to provide VRC capabilities for ABB robots. The new product supports virtual time and multi-move technology to work with multiple robots at a time. Unlike other VRCs, this product does not require the use of Roboguide software.

To ensure full alignment between the individual robot capabilities, you can import the data into Process Simulate with supported commands and XMLs in just a few clicks. With the path editor and sequence editor, select which program or sequence of programs the simulation should play while controlling the simulation’s speed as well as playing it back and forth. Ensure that the generated program fits the individual robot perfectly, even if the plant uses multiple robots with different capabilities.
