A machine builder's testimonial on the use of KUKA.Sim

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

The application was immediate, both on his own projects and in helping other colleagues. Simulate an automation project before its realization allows to validate the choice of the robot, its implementation and the absence of collision with its environment. Armaury was also able to reassure its customer by providing a cycle time corresponding to the specifications. 

"The simulation reassures everyone: the robot knows how to go everywhere and in the allotted time, which is reassuring and attractive," says Amaury. Indeed, KUKA.Sim is not only a technical tool but also a presentation tool. The design office can use the simulation software as a presentation tool for feasibility studies.
