For the modular welding cell -KUKA flexibleCUBE-, OrangeApps has developed an operating and visualization software that is completely integrated into the robot control system.

A setup wizard guides the operator through component and fixture setup.

The production overview shows statistical data on production, the current job, consumption values and much more.

Service and maintenance displays together with online operating and maintenance instructions increase the availability of the system.

Gradually, at non-production days, 'old' KRC2 robots are exchanged for new KRC4 robots at Daimler in Düsseldorf.

Due to the different architecture, especially for bus systems, OrangeApps developed software that analyzes KRC2 archives, converts data and creates a WorkVisual (KRC4) options package.

In addition to the entire parameterization of the robot, the resulting option package also contains all work programs and a preconfigured bus project. Of course, the conversion of the 'old' coordinates of the non-absolutely accurate KRC2 robots into the absolutely accurate robot model of the KRC4 is also included.

This converter software can reduce the time from first power up to the fully commissioned robot (ready to test the motion programs) to ~ 30 min.

This high degree of automation allows a very short window of time to exchange robots.

Inline forms facilitate and speed up the programming of a robot.

Clear design, self-explanatory terms and the ability to check values entered make inline forms particularly user-friendly and therefore suitable for operators without deep system knowledge.

OrangeApps develops inline forms to suit every requirement.

The inline form 'Offset' allows to execute a PTP or LIN movement relative to an already taught position. In addition to the data for the offset itself (X, Y, Z, A, B, C), the user can define the reference system (tool or base) as well as the motion parameters (PDAT).

The inline form 'SoftMove' makes it possible to switch specific axes 'soft'. Thus, axles can be controlled 'floated' e.g. insert a component into a fixture without transferring clamping forces to the system through an inaccurate position.

While in the past it was often a question of replacing human work with robots, today the robot often works acts as an assistant next to the worker.

OrangeApps' intelligent and intuitive software complements innovative hardware to simplify operation, integrate systems better, and empower people to work more efficiently with complex systems.

With the help of virtual commissioning (VIBN), the PLC and robot programs can be programmed and tested in advance by the software-related mapping of the real system.

Together with our partner EKS InTec, we are constantly optimizing the workflow in order to merge the real and virtual world. By connecting our OrangeEdit to RobSim (EKS InTec) to simulate the robot programs, the robot programmer works with familiar software directly into the virtual world.

Together with the machine manufacturer Federspiel, we develop intelligent dis- / palletizing robot systems for the food industry.

For depalletizing various KEG variants, we rely on 3D scan technology and a dynamic motion strategy of the robot.

Other features of these systems are:
- Palletize and depalletize up to 180 barrels / hour - any barrel types from 15 l party to 50 l stainless steel or plus KEG
- configurable pack pattern
- automatic pallet inspection
- easiest operation
- parameterizable, thus short integration times
