Studying an automation integrator’s approach contextualizes the technological features of RobotStudio. The paper examines the capabilities, technological features, and applications of the RobotStudio industrial robot simulation package. The authors introduce RobotStudio’s general characteristics, then analyze its use by a company developing bespoke automation solutions in the food industry, and finally discuss its educational value. RobotStudio improves programming efficiency and accuracy, reduces downtime, and supports remote maintenance, troubleshooting, risk management, and education.
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the capabilities, technological features and applications of a particular industrial robot simulation package. Design/methodology/approach The paper begins with an introduction to the general characteristics and distinguishing technological features of RobotStudio. Next, there is a detailed study of how the tool is used by a company developing bespoke automation solutions, particularly in the food industry. Finally, the educational value of the software is addressed. Findings RobotStudio is used to improve the efficiency and accuracy of robot programming and reduce downtime. It also has a role in remote maintenance and troubleshooting, risk management and education. Originality/value A study of the approach and achievements of an automation integrator makes the technological features of the software easier to understand, in their proper context.
