Inspection software MARS

application programmingsimulationprocess management

MARS is a software tool for developing, simulating, and starting up robot work cells minimizing the commissioning time. The user can develop robotic applications of “pick, inspect, place/palletize” even without deep knowledge of robot programming and vision thanks to a high-level programming language, independent from the robot, scanner, and camera brand. Robots and cameras, either 2D or 3D, are simulated allowing the development of new applications without the need for real hardware. NAK3D by Euclid Labs, Visio Nerf Cirrus 3D, Zivid One+ and Zivid Two by Zivid, and Photoneo PhoXi 3D scanners are currently supported, 2D cameras from Basler and IDS are available. Cell’s components (robots, scanners, cameras, and many others) can be easily imported into the project from the libraries available online. With MARS you can build a digital twin of your still unborn project: - Cell logic and robot trajectories are both the same when connected to the simulated components and the real hardware. - Complete simulation of the positioning tolerances of the real pallets, bins or baskets. - Full collision check on the “simulated real environment” during the simulation to detect object localization issues. - The same HMI is used when operating both in simulation or real mode. WHAT CAN I DO WITH MARS - Virtual commissioning - Vision perception (localization) - Inspection: detect the presence of features such as holes, weld nuts and trims by using 2D/3D cameras - Robot motion planning - Application programming (PLC process flow & logic programming) - Full cell simulation
