Automation Suite incorporates several groundbreaking features designed to simplify complex processes and enhance operational efficiency:
- Universal Compatibility: Engineered to work with all common types of robots, sensors, and metrology software solutions. The comprehensive library enables users to effortlessly drag and drop hardware components and start automating immediately.
- Proprietary 3D Engine: A robust 3D engine developed from the ground up is capable of handling extensive automation tasks across entire production lines without compromising speed or performance.
- Streamlined User Interface: A reduced dashboard design enhances user experience and productivity by making the interface more accessible and less cluttered.
- Free Trial: Potential users can explore the suite’s full capabilities through a free trial, providing a risk-free way to evaluate its benefits.
- Flexible Licensing Model: Customers can pay only for the specific interfaces they need, ensuring cost-effectiveness.
- Enhanced Metrology: The suite offers rapid and precise measurement capabilities to support high-quality production standards.
- Full Inline Integration: Designed for comprehensive inline integration, the suite ensures a smooth workflow that maximizes efficiency from start to finish.
All common robots and sensors integrated
The new technology surpasses market competitors such as Zeiss and Hexagon by offering state-of-the-art solutions tailored for simplicity and efficiency. With a library containing all common models of robots and sensors, as well as support for any metrology software, the drag&drop interface eliminates the need for programming, making automation more accessible. Founder Santiago Droll initiated development from scratch after leaving Hexagon, collaborating closely with customers to create a reliable program. Major challenges included navigating customer IT regulations, robot safety encryptions, regulatory compliance, data transfer bottlenecks, CE and safety regulations, and communication with various stakeholders. Despite these hurdles, the company has reached significant milestones, such as integrating over 1,000 robots and sensors, achieving full inline integration, securing running projects at Audi and BMW, and launching an own 3D engine within the software.
99% reduction in cycle times at BMW
Key technical specifications include an open platform that supports any hardware and software, a vast library with all common robots and sensors, and comprehensive support for metrology automation from simulation to reality in one software package. The software finds applications across various industries, including automotive and aerospace:
- BMW: Inline metrology for battery factories, achieving a 99% reduction in cycle time.
- Audi: Measurement cell for whole body-in-white in under seven minutes, resulting in an 87% reduction in cycle time.
- Textron: Measurement of aerospace wings, achieving a 75% reduction in cycle time.
Feedback from early users and testers highlights the intuitive and user-friendly nature of the technology. Andreas Zacherl from MQS AG notes: „Through our early collaboration, particularly with the Eleven Dynamics Automation Suite, we significantly increased the effectiveness of our Mantis systems.“ Vincent Bablok from BMW AG adds: „With Automation Suite, we save up to 99% measurement time depending on the part.“ As a small company, Eleven Dynamics AG offers unparalleled flexibility and the ability to maintain high quality while adapting to customer needs swiftly. Unlike larger corporations, the company avoid bureaucratic hurdles and focus solely on the future of automation. Primary focus is on inline metrology automation, with ongoing evaluation of the benefits of AI for the software.
