PRODUCTION SOFTWARE AND PLATFORM
AUTOMATIC ROBOT PATH GENERATOR
Our production platform eliminates the need for manual robot path programming in fire protection pipe manufacturing processes.
The machine operator does not need to program any trajectories. The system automatically calculates the geometric intersection between pipes, precisely generating both plasma cutting and robotic welding trajectories for each branch configuration.
The operator only needs to perform minor process adjustments when required, maintaining simple and intuitive control over the manufacturing process without relying on advanced robotic programming skills.
Our production platform eliminates the need to manually program robot trajectories in fire sprinkler pipe manufacturing processes, providing full autonomy for generating new product references without the need for external services.
Based on the production list entered into the system, the software automatically optimizes pipe manufacturing, calculating lengths, sequences, and combinations to minimize cut-offs and reduce material waste to the lowest possible level.
This automatic calculation logic ensures:
-
Elimination of complex robotic programming
-
Fast adjustments directly from the operator interface
-
High precision and repeatability in cutting and welding operations
-
Reduced setup and changeover times
-
Greater flexibility to introduce new product references
-
Optimized material usage and minimized waste
The combination of dedicated software, automatic trajectory calculation, and industrial robotics makes it possible to standardize production, ensure consistent quality, and scale the solution over time, while maintaining a clear focus on real-world manufacturing and industrial operation.
