Prodomax: Simulating Robotics in a Virtual Plant

Thank you to our customer, Prodomax and partner, Aventec for collaborating with us on our newest case study!

 

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.

Benefits

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.
