ABB RobotStudio: Real-time global collaboration

ABB has added new features to its world-leading RobotStudio robot programming software, including simplified user interfaces, version control and high-precision simulations. Users can now track all changes, giving them full transparency. Since this new feature provides information about who edited the program and when, the time needed to fix bugs and performance problems can be significantly reduced. The cloud-based Virtual Controller in RobotStudio also provides developers with a fast and powerful simulation tool to customize and test programs. By creating an exact digital twin, the Virtual Controller gives confidence that once installed, the robot will move as precisely in the real world as it does in simulation. This allows for fine-tuning and optimization that can help minimize scrap or problems when production begins.

The software's simplified user interface makes it easier than ever to create and modify programs, according to the manufacturer. In this way, even users with little technical knowledge can program robotic applications quickly and with minimal effort. The security architecture, developed specifically for enterprises, ensures high security and productivity. With the new cloud-based RobotStudio software, companies can program their robots in a collaborative manner, reduce the time and cost of physical testing and commissioning, and avoid malfunctions.
