Prodomax: Simulating Robotics in a Virtual Plant

Thank you to our customer Prodomax for sharing your story!

Challenge:
Based in Canada, Prodomax designs customized automotive-part manufacturing lines. As customers demand
faster project turnarounds and request simulations in their specifications, Prodomax sought an industry-leading
simulation solution to test and integrate robots virtually ahead of installation.
Solution:
Prodomax selected Dassault Systèmes’ Digital Equipment Continuity industry solution on the 3DEXPERIENCE
platform. Through this solution, Prodomax leverages DELMIA to simulate robotics within the context of each
customer’s plants, covering robot reach limitations and tooling interferences. Prodomax also uses SOLIDWORKS
to design tooling that is used in their automated lines. These simulation and virtual twin capabilities support a
new approach to planning, validating and optimizing customers’ production lines.
Results:
DELMIA allows Prodomax to test and integrate robots virtually to improve the accuracy of tool designs and
robot placement, and optimize cycle times. Engineers benefit from rich robotic simulation capabilities to work
efficiently and solve potential issues ahead of physical installation on the shop floor so that production lines
get up and running as quickly as possible.
