Problem
Industrial robotic cells often contain untapped potential in their motion paths, process sequences, and waiting times, which limits throughput and productivity. Identifying and exploiting these optimization opportunities manually is time-consuming and error-prone, and many companies lack the specialized tools to systematically evaluate alternative robot movements.
Solution
byte robotics combines robotics engineering expertise with proprietary optimization software to analyze motion paths, process sequences, and waiting times in industrial robot cells. The company's OCP (Optimized Cell Planning) products automatically generate and evaluate alternative robot movements based on geometry, kinematics, and process requirements, directly within popular simulation environments like Visual Components, KUKA.Sim, and iiQWorks.Sim. The software considers collision avoidance and cycle-time optimization, allowing engineering teams to compare alternatives against the current state and validate improvements in a virtual environment before implementation. Beyond software, byte robotics offers engineering services including cycle-time optimization projects, virtual commissioning, robot programming support, and feasibility analyses to guide customers from analysis to validated improvements.
Target Audience
Primary customers are automation companies, system integrators, and industrial manufacturers operating robotic cells who need to increase throughput without additional capital investment, as well as engineering software providers seeking to embed automated motion planning into their tools.
