Testimonial from a machine builder on using KUKA.Sim

KUKA.Sim isa multi-purpose tool that makes it easy to prepare, validate and present anautomation project. Read a user testimonial and discover all the benefits ofthe simulation software. 


The need to simulate automation projects

KUKA.Sim is a tool that will serve us well in the future,” says Amaury Claudin, project manager at CREI, an industrial machine manufacturer. Working in the mechanical design office, Amaury is required to work on his customers' projects from the receipt of specifications to the design and commissioning of the solution. He took an interest in KUKA.Sim simulation software to check that the results of his studies were in line with project requirements.

Training to use KUKA.Sim

Being new to the tool, Amaury first downloaded the free demo version of the software. After a few days of getting to use the software, Amaury decided to take part in the full KUKA.College training course, in order to benefit fully from all KUKA.Sim's advantages. “It went really well”, he says of the availability of the training sessions, which take place both in person and remotely. He was able to test his skills directly on the demo version before activating the full one-year license.

Use of the simulation software & features

The software was immediately put into practice, both for our own projects and to help other colleagues. By simulating an automation project in advance of its implementation, Amaury was able to validate the choice of robot, its positioning and the absence of collisions with its environment. Amaury was also able to reassure his customer by providing a cycle time corresponding to the specifications.

Simulation reassures everyone: the robot can go anywhere in the allotted time, which is reassuring and satisfying,” says Amaury. Indeed, KUKA.Sim is not only a technical tool, but also a presentation one. For example, the design office claims to be able to use the simulation software as a presentation tool for feasibility studies.

KUKA.Sim is also a polyvalent software package, suitable for many different profiles: “It's not my job, but a roboticist will be able to use the programming part”. Programming can be done directly from the simulation to save time, and trajectories can be simply imported into the robot. 

I totally recommend KUKA.Sim! It's essential because you can detect problems that can lead to major costs if you're wrong.
