- Paint thickness measurement for quality control.
Advanced Robot Control – atxHMI
This software serves as an integration platform, enabling the logical and physical interconnection of devices, process management based on industrial data and the visualization of digital information.
It offers three main services through standard protocols (HTTP and OPC UA): a REST service for real-time data manipulation, an RPC service for remote machine procedures and an SSE service for real-time event streams.
Simulation – atxPIK
As part of our digitalization efforts, we have developed an automation suite that includes process simulation and implementation tools.
The suite includes our Process Implementation Kit (PIK), which integrates:
- DELMIA simulation
- Post-processing program
- Parameter operations
- Automatic surface movements
- Automatic trajectory
- Robot program generation
