Dassault Systèmes was named the overall leader in ABI Research’s Offline Programming for Robotics Software in Industrial Manufacturing competitive ranking due to its robust and comprehensive offerings. The French multinational software company came out on top because its Offline Programming (OLP) software excels in the following three key areas.
- Digital Workflows and Virtual Commissioning: Dassault Systèmes provides powerful technologies for curating digital workflows and virtual commissioning through its OLP software. A huge advantage the company possesses is its emphasis on Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software and integration with systems like Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES). These integrations allow virtual testing and validation of robotic systems, reducing errors and downtime.
- Comprehensive and Adaptable Software Suite: The 3DEXPERIENCE platform, particularly its DELMIA component, is a versatile software suite for digital manufacturing. It integrates data storage, analytics, simulation, virtual commissioning, and OLP. Seamlessly integrating with other Dassault tools like SOLIDWORKS and CATIA, DELMIA supports efficient robotics design changes and fosters digital continuity.
- Extensive Robot and PLC Support: DELMIA supports various industrial robot brands and models, with a library of over 2,000 robot models and a comprehensive PLC library. Advanced features like collision detection and cycle time optimization enhance its OLP capabilities. The addition of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) functionalities allows technicians to program digital twins before deployment, further solidifying Dassault Systèmes' leadership in OLP for robotics software.
