Intelligence for multi-robot operations

BOSTON (December 7, 2020) — Realtime Robotics, the leader in autonomous motion planning for industrial robots, today announced a relationship with Dematic, a global leader in intralogistics innovation. The use of Realtime’s advanced multi-robot coordination and spatial perception technology paired with Dematic’s automated palletizing software will vastly improve the accuracy, cycle time, and stability of mixed case palletizing cells.

In the hyper-competitive logistics space, solution providers are being challenged to reduce cost and time to deploy all while continuing to increase key productivity metrics. To meet this demand Dematic’s solution requires multiple robots to work together to pick cases of varying sizes to build mixed-case pallets within tight proximity. Realtime Robotics’ core technology eliminates the need to implement cycle-reducing interference zones. This results in tightly orchestrated and choreographed work-cells fully optimized for cycle time. Additionally, Realtime’s advanced perception technology provides additional sensing competence, which empowers dense, stable pallet builds and quick fault recognition in a highly variable automation environment. The relationship between Dematic and Realtime Robotics will enable palletizing robots to have more intelligence and flexibility to build pallets at a faster pace. The joint solution will begin deployment at customer sites early in 2021.

“Incorporating our technology with Dematic’s is very exciting. We have been eager to support the material handling industry with a more robust solution that delivers productivity and efficiency gains. This partnership is allowing us to give logistic providers the boost in operations they desire.”

— Peter Howard, CEO, Realtime Robotics

“We are excited about the introduction of the Realtime Robotics technology into our advanced robotic applications. Their unique combination of motion planning and advanced vision capability provides a discrete competitive advantage in the market.”

— Kevin Heath, Robotics Global Sr. Manager, Dematic

Realtime Robotics’ Optimization-as-a-Service Unleashes Efficiency by Reducing Cycle Times

Posted on January 1, 1970April 28, 2025 by Erin

It’s an exciting day here at Realtime Robotics as we’ve officially rolled out our latest offering – Optimization-as-a-Service. Put simply, it is a sophisticated solution designed to enhance productivity in industrial robotic applications. The solution leverages our proprietary optimization software and deep robotics and application engineering expertise to revolutionize customers’ manufacturing processes, optimizing robot paths and interlocks to cut cycle times and improve efficiency. To top it all off, we can do this for them faster and easier than they can do themselves – and we can do it without disrupting their existing operations.

Key features of our optimization solution include the ability to rapidly generate and test hundreds of thousands of potential robot paths. This process, driven by proprietary algorithms, determines optimal motion sequences based on parameters such as target assignment and robot reach. Automatic interlocks enable robots to operate in closer proximity, further enhancing efficiency.

Already Generating Results

A recent deployment of Realtime Robotics’ Optimization-as-a-Service solution took place at Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles in Hanover, Germany. The goal was to enhance the cycle time in a 2-robot cell responsible for welding car doors for the ID. Buzz vehicle line. By analyzing the manufacturer’s digital twin, our optimization solution identified bottleneck areas and proposed optimizations, all without interrupting ongoing production. The outcome was a significant reduction in cycle time, providing tangible evidence of the service’s efficacy.

How It Works, Simplified

There are only four simple steps to utilize the service and shave precious seconds off of your cycle time:

Provide us with your simulation CAD file for bottlenecked cells.
Our engineers quickly review and determine if optimization is possible.
If so, we employ proprietary algorithms to optimize the workcell in a matter of weeks, reducing cycle times through improved paths and sequences.
Once validated, the results can be seamlessly transferred to a customer’s production floor – and they can sit back and watch their efficiency levels improve.

A Fast, Streamlined Process

Unlike traditional methods that may require years of programming experience and extended downtime, Realtime Robotics’ Optimization-as-a-Service offers a streamlined, risk-free process. The solution evaluates hundreds of thousands of possibilities for any robot brand, providing insights within days on potential cycle time savings. Implementation is swift, requiring only a single shutdown to deploy optimized paths and eliminate bottlenecks.

Our Optimization-as-a-Service offering delivers results when you cannot spend months squeezing more productivity out of your automation cells.

And when it comes down to it, who doesn’t want more bang for their manufacturing buck? This isn’t just about making robots move; it’s about making them dance to a more efficient and effective tune.
