Procedure

  1. Sample selection from an area of the robot workspace, including following consultation
  2. Subsequent performance of testing based on ISO standard 9283 (“Industrial robots — Performance criteria and related test methods”)
  3. Procedure based on standard enables reliable and reproducible results to be achieved
  4. Development of targeted measures to improve accuracy
  5. Predictions of behavior in certain application scenarios are possible

Each application scenario presents the robotic system with different process requirements.

Procedure

  • Evaluation of AI-based robotics applications, such as handling, assembly or welding
  • Evaluation of new components in a robot cell
  • Evaluation of industrial robots in terms of accuracy, path planning, collision behavior
     

Service benefits for AI providers:

  • Improve trust among customers: “TEF-tested”
  • Increase awareness: catalog listing of tested technologies and part of the experimentation portfolio for users
  • Gain an information advantage: accurate findings relating to users’ technical requirements
     

Service benefits for AI users:

  • Decision-making aid
  • Reliability when making selection
  • Reduced implementation time

Procedure

  1. Virtual Feasibility Studies (VFS) and real tests with your components
  2. VFS validation expanded to other systems
  3. Long-term, continuing projects are possible
     

Our offer:

  • Quick, reliable and cost-effective virtual feasibility studies and optimization of system design
  • Commercial, industrial bin-picking benchmark, comparative studies for customers
  • Web service for virtual commissioning of IPA AI picking and online training

Our expertise and tools help you to make well-founded decisions and implement an efficient automation solution in your company.
