Electronics factories rely heavily on manual operations to assemble, test, and move components throughout the manufacturing, assembly, and packaging processes. Plant optimization and growth around manual operations is no longer capable of meeting the increasing product complexity and market demands of electronics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In our latest <a href=\"https:\/\/webinars.sw.siemens.com\/en-US\/robotics-programming-and-virtual-commissioning\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">webinar<\/a>, explore how implementing and optimizing robotics and automation will be critical to transform traditional manual operations to meet the demands for the electronics industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-font-size\" style=\"font-size:25px\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-teal-background-color has-background has-text-align-center wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/webinars.sw.siemens.com\/en-US\/robotics-programming-and-virtual-commissioning\" style=\"border-radius:24px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Register now!<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/videos.mentor-cdn.com\/mgc\/videos\/5400\/fe36bd03-8e7d-4808-8031-3be59213e11f-en-US-video.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Design, deploy and accelerate electronics assembly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the webinar, learn how to successfully design, deploy, and ramp up automated operations that are modular and flexible by mitigating any risks? The key is virtually simulating, validating, and commissioning before any hardware is onsite or purchased.

This includes creating the different robot operations, planning the robot path, and setting robot motion parameters. Validating a collision-free robot operation is critical to prevent equipment damage and production delays during onsite commissioning. Cycle times can be evaluated and optimized during this step to ensure requirements are met.<\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"692\" height=\"381\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/10\/process-simulate-motion-planning-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10642 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/10\/process-simulate-motion-planning-1.png 692w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/10\/process-simulate-motion-planning-1-600x330.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 692px) 100vw, 692px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"692\" height=\"332\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/10\/process-simulate-robot-programming-2.png\" alt=\"process-simulate-robot-programming\" class=\"wp-image-10643 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/10\/process-simulate-robot-programming-2.png 692w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/10\/process-simulate-robot-programming-2-600x288.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 692px) 100vw, 692px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><strong>Robot Programming OLP+<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In step three, we move to robot programming, or commonly called offline programming with <a href=\"https:\/\/plm.sw.siemens.com\/en-US\/tecnomatix\/products\/process-simulate-software\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Process Simulate<\/a>. Fanuc robots are featured in this step to highlight recent enhancements around position registers, user and tool frames, and program debugging.
