The 'PickMaster' software from ABB is used to configure complex pick & place applications with robots. Now, with Picking PowerPac, there is an easy-to-use add-on module for 'PickMaster 3' and 'RobotStudio'. According to the provider, the simulation of even complex multi-robot pick & place lines saves up to 80% programming time, a large proportion of the additional test phases required on the real system and leads to reduced product waste during trial operation. The tool simplifies both the programming and the design of pick & place systems. For users, challenges such as analysis and evaluation of material flow feasibility, changes to the material flow, optimal coordination of the distribution of functions and work among several robots and the hedging of numerous risks become transparent. This allows systems to be validated in terms of their start-up behavior, buffer locations and material flow without interrupting production. The software also enables the optimization of existing lines configured with 'PickMaster 3' by recording the product flow with cameras and then transferring it to 'Picking PowerPac' for validation and optimization.
