To know how: ArtiMinds is not just tem­plate-based pro­gram­ming soft­ware for indus­trial robots. With ArtiMinds, sen­sor-adap­tive processes in par­tic­u­lar can be pro­grammed much more eas­ily and indus­tri­al­ized more quickly.
Why? Because the more than 60 func­tion tem­plates con­tain intel­li­gent algo­rithms that ensure that the robot exe­cutes, for exam­ple, a plug­ging process as quickly and pre­cisely as pos­si­ble and even opti­mizes itself over sev­eral cycles.

Our new video shows which appli­ca­tions can be real­ized using ArtiMinds RPS and LAR:

The lat­est ArtiMinds RPS ver­sion 1.17 is now avail­able for instal­la­tion. The update includes enhance­ments and addi­tional sup­ported robot mod­els for  KUKA and Fanuc. Fur­ther­more grip­per sta­tus and vision results in are added in the stream­ing infor­ma­tion send to ArtiMinds LAR.

You can find the entire changelog with all changes and bug fixes in the ArtiMinds RPS directory.

The release is avail­able via down­load or online update.

Four excit­ing and event­ful trade fair days at auto­mat­ica in Munich are behind ArtiMinds. We would like to thank all vis­i­tors for the great inter­est and the inten­sive per­sonal exchange.

What were the high­lights and which sen­sor-adap­tive appli­ca­tions could be seen at our booth in hall B4? In our trade show review, we have com­piled the most impor­tant infor­ma­tion as well as a short trade show film.

Cor­re­lat­ing with auto­mat­ica, we have given our prod­uct brochure a redesign in terms of con­tent and appear­ance. As a holis­tic robotics part­ner, ArtiMinds not only sup­ports you with intel­li­gent soft­ware solu­tions, but also offers cus­tomized project sup­port, engi­neer­ing and training.
We have com­piled all impor­tant infor­ma­tion in the new brochure.

Are you plan­ning a robotics project? To ensure effi­cient plan­ning and inte­gra­tion, it is impor­tant to think about the con­cept and require­ments of the appli­ca­tion, your goals, the tech­ni­cal pre­req­ui­sites and the require­ments for human-robot col­lab­o­ra­tion in advance.
Use our inter­ac­tive check­list and the sup­ple­men­tary tips to make sure you don’t for­get any impor­tant points and to find the right hard­ware com­po­nents and soft­ware tools for your application.

A robot pro­gram­ming devel­oped with ArtiMinds RPS can be eas­ily trans­ferred to robots of other manufacturers.
As the soft­ware uses a generic tem­plate pro­gram to cre­ate native robot code, force-con­trolled assem­bly processes etc. can be trans­ferred eas­ily while main­tain­ing the para­me­ters of the process. Reteach­ing due to kine­matic changes is fast and easy.

So, for exam­ple, a fea­si­bil­ity study can also be real­ized with a Cobot. Later, an indus­trial robot can be used for the robotic cell.

Auto­mat­ica is the world’s lead­ing trade fair for Smart Automa­tion and Robotics and will be the industry’s meet­ing point from June 21 to 24.
Con­tact us to receive a free ticket to visit the exhi­bi­tion and ArtiMinds  in the Future Robotics Hall, Hall B4, Booth 302A.
We are look­ing for­ward to your visit and our per­sonal exchange!

The grind­ing of molded shells is a phys­i­cally demand­ing job, but due to the com­plex geome­tries the task can­not actu­ally be auto­mated with robots. With the sup­port of ArtiMinds, how­ever, Maus GmbH has now found a solu­tion that allows the robot to grind out the shells in a force-con­trolled and pre­cise manner.
Mel­chior Maus, mas­ter degree in tech­ni­cal model mak­ing, reports: “Up to now, we had no expe­ri­ence with robots. But with their soft­ware solu­tion and exper­tise ArtiMinds opened the door into the field of robotics for us. Our vision is that every work­sta­tion in mold con­struc­tion will have a robot to assist the worker in grind­ing out the molded shells.”

In the lat­est Suc­cess Story video, Mel­chior Maus explains the details of the appli­ca­tion and tells what ben­e­fits he has had by using ArtiMinds RPS and coop­er­at­ing with ArtiMinds.

Dur­ing the life­cy­cle of a robotic cell, a sys­tem is exposed to numer­ous oper­a­tional influences.
These can be shocks and vibra­tions trig­gered, for exam­ple, by fork­lifts or other machines, the wear of tools, spare parts that react dif­fer­ently than the pre­vi­ous com­po­nents, changes in work piece batches or space avail­able in the hall. Chang­ing light­ing and tem­per­a­ture con­di­tions or the dif­fer­ence between a cold-started and a warmed-up robot can also have an effect.

What does this mean in con­crete terms? Our lat­est blog reveals the facts!

The edi­tors of the Ger­man trade jour­nal “Com­puter & Automa­tion” selected 96 prod­ucts in twelve cat­e­gories and nom­i­nated them for the “Prod­uct of the Year 2022”.
ArtiMinds is nom­i­nated in the cat­e­gory “Robotics” with its no-code soft­ware solu­tion ArtiMinds RPS, which can be used to imple­ment sen­sor-adap­tive appli­ca­tions such as the force-con­trolled plug­ging of flex­i­ble cables using pre-pro­grammed templates.

We appre­ci­ate your vote for ArtiMinds! The vot­ing runs until Feb­ru­ary 28.
