This recognition as the top OLP solution by ABI Research reflects not only the technological capabilities of DELMIA Robotics, but also its broader vision of shaping a more resilient and efficient manufacturing landscape.
In a recent competitive ranking conducted by ABI Research, DELMIA, a Dassault Systèmes’ brand, has emerged as the top robotics software in Offline Programming (OLP) in industrial manufacturing, achieving an overall score of 88.8. Achieving impressive scores in both innovation (89.0) and implementation (88.5), DELMIA Robotics stands as the preferred choice for manufacturers across industries.
What is DELMIA Robotics?
DELMIA Robotics is an advanced robotics programming and simulation solution offered by Dassault Systèmes, designed to optimize and manage robotic systems in industrial manufacturing. Powered by the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, DELMIA Robotics enables manufacturers to simulate, program, and virtually commission robots across various applications, from assembly and welding to material handling and surface treatment.
Best-in-class solution
DELMIA Robotics earned its top ranking due to its exceptional performance in both innovation and implementation, scoring high in each category.
Innovation (89.0): DELMIA’s ability to simulate entire workflows, beyond individual robots, sets it apart. The seamless integration with Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform enables manufacturers to take advantage of a fully digital environment that connects design, simulation, and production.
Implementation (88.5): With support for over 2,000 robot models and a vast range of programmable logic controllers (PLCs), DELMIA Robotics is adaptable to diverse manufacturing environments. Its global footprint, with technical support in over 100 countries, ensures that customers can rely on continuous access to innovation and assistance, making it an ideal solution for manufacturers of all sizes
Seamless integration and digital continuity
One of DELMIA Robotics’ most significant advantages is its seamless integration with CAD software, such as SOLIDWORKS and CATIA, which ensures full digital continuity from design to production. This integration allows manufacturers to instantly reflect any product design changes made in the simulation, enabling real-time adjustments and significantly reducing time-to-market.
For manufacturers, this means that new product designs, adjustments, or updates can be incorporated into simulations without any downtime. By linking design and production through a digital twin, DELMIA Robotics ensures that manufacturers can optimize processes, enhance efficiency, and deliver faster results.
Flexibility and adaptability for high-mix, low-volume manufacturing
As manufacturers increasingly require flexible solutions to accommodate high-mix, low-volume production runs, DELMIA Robotics delivers unmatched customization capabilities. The platform supports over 2,000 robot models and is PLC agnostic, meaning it can be easily integrated with various types of hardware and software. This adaptability is critical for manufacturers who need to rapidly adjust processes to meet changing demands.
In addition to its broad hardware support, DELMIA Robotics offers open APIs and scripting capabilities in C++ and Dassault Systèmes’ proprietary Enterprise Knowledge Language (EKL), enabling users to customize the system to their specific needs. This makes DELMIA Robotics an essential tool for manufacturers who require rapid reconfiguration and process flexibility.
Ease of use and democratization of robotics programming
One of the challenges of adopting advanced robotics in manufacturing is the complexity of programming and managing robotic systems. DELMIA Robotics addresses this challenge by offering a highly intuitive and user-friendly interface. Features such as a virtual teach pendant, no-code/low-code programming options, and a simplified graphical user interface (GUI) make robotics programming accessible to engineers with varying levels of experience.
This ease of use significantly reduces the time and effort required to program robots, allowing engineers to quickly deploy and optimize their robotic systems. Moreover, the platform’s democratization of robotics programming means that even engineers who are new to robotics can take advantage of its powerful capabilities without extensive training.
