Abstract

Complex robot systems and intelligent automation concepts play a key role in manufacturing companies. Due to the required high level of expertise in such systems, many robot automation solutions do not achieve a good economical cost-benefit ratio. In order to meet these challenges, intuitive engineering platforms are urgently needed. In this paper, we present the evolution of such a platform, which we are building in a modular way. By using a configuration module, best-practice automation solutions are modified in order to meet specific requirements. With this, employees without special knowledge of robotics can achieve optimized automation solutions quickly.
