Case Study EASY-ROB Software
"We were able to pursue and achieve new development goals"
About EASY-ROB Software
EASY-ROB Software GmbH, located in Hofheim am Taunus, develops software modules for industrial robotics. Since 1996, the SME has been selling the EASY-ROB™ simulation system. For certain requirements, the tool offers an interesting alternative to high-end simulation systems. Since 2000, more than 1,700 EASY-ROB™ licenses have been in use.
What did EASY-ROB particularly appreciate about the cooperation with L‑One?
"The high motivation, new ideas and a lot of enthusiasm of the developers ensured the success of the project."
Stefan Anton, Managing Director of EASY-ROB Software GmbH
Challenge
EASY-ROB software used a standalone product built using an OpenGL library as a visualization tool - without the ability to generate a robot path from CAD models.
The goal of the project: to develop an open CAD-based robot offline programming system.
Solution
L-One provided the customer with three developers who delved into numerous theoretical concepts before implementation.
Instead of using OpenGL as a visualization tool, the dedicated L‑One team used the latest OCCT technology. The OCCT libraries were also smoothly connected to the robotics kernel.
Result
The platform developed by L‑One works as a human-robot interface (HRI). It creates interaction in an intuitive way. Any user with basic knowledge can generate a robot program from a CAD model and visualize the simulation graphically in just a few minutes.
Automatic extraction of the robot program from a CAD model and simulation of the program in the virtual environment can be done before mapping to a real system.
In addition, the L‑One development team has created a scalable, maintainable and reusable OOP structure for the platform.
