The virtual process chain culminates in a non-stop automatic transfer of all simulation data to production robots. This transfer is carried out through a new type of CAM interface which ensures that the actual component exactly replicates the one worked out virtually. The related data are no longer entered by hand but go directly to the production station at the push of a button, so
IN THE PICTURE
to speak – a good start for Industry 4.0.
