OnRobot D:PLOY platform automates robotic deployment with zero programming

OnRobot has launched D:PLOY, an automated platform for building, running, monitoring, and redeploying collaborative applications. By automating the process of getting a robotic application up and running, the platform allows complete applications to be deployed and redeployed directly on the manufacturing floor in a few steps with zero programming, all within a few hours, the company states.

The system automatically discovers most of the installed hardware and generates the robot motion based on the obstacles and cell boundaries defined in the workspace. The program logic, signals exchange, event handling, and robot movement are automatically created for the entire application based on a few inputs such as workpiece attributes and pick position.

The platform, which works with many robot brands, supports CNC machine tending, palletizing, packaging, and transferring (pick-and-place) applications.
