Robotics Simulation Sprint
Simulation & offline programming
Validate the cell in simulation before the steel is cut. A fixed-scope, fixed-price engineering sprint for one agreed robotic application — so integrators and manufacturers get specialist simulation and offline-programming capacity without a permanent hire.
01 / WHO
Who it’s for
- Integrators with more quotes and projects than simulation hours
- Manufacturers planning a new cell, a product changeover or a layout change
- Machining and finishing users who need robot paths generated from CAD
02 / INCLUDED
What’s included
Work packages are selected in the Statement of Work (SoW), not bundled automatically.
- Cell model and layout validation: reach, interference, guard and fence positions
- Cycle-time study: bottlenecks named, options to remove them
- Offline programs for ABB (RAPID) or KUKA (KRL); Robotmaster for machining and trimming paths
- Safety-zone concept checked in simulation (e.g. ABB SafeMove), for your safety engineer to validate
- Mid-sprint review with a milestone demonstration
- One remote handover session
03 / DELIVERABLES
What you receive
- Agreed native station files
- Offline programs, delivered ready for on-site touch-up
- Cycle-time results — simulated cycle times are estimates, not production guarantees
- Assumptions and open-constraints log
- Safety-zone concept for your safety engineer to validate, when that package is in the SoW
04 / PROCESS
How it runs
- Scoping call → SoW with fixed price, deliverables and acceptance tests
- Data check — the sprint clock starts when inputs are complete and the deposit is received
- Mid-sprint review: layout frozen, milestone demonstration
- Delivery and remote handover session
- Acceptance against the SoW tests, within a 10-working-day review window
05 / TIMELINE
How long it takes
- Sprint: 2–4 weeks from complete inputs and deposit
- Mid-sprint review: layout frozen; second payment milestone
- Acceptance: 10-working-day review window after delivery
- Capacity: one principal sprint at a time
06 / OUT OF SCOPE
Not included unless added in writing
- On-site touch-up and commissioning (optional, quoted per day)
- PLC / HMI development and vision integration
- Turnkey multi-robot line design
- Safety sign-off, CE / UKCA marking, production-rate guarantees
- Fault-finding or repair of drives, power supplies or controller hardware
- Revision loops beyond the SoW
Programs are delivered ready for on-site touch-up. A clear simulation is not a safe physical cell: the first run on the real cell, at reduced speed, is the client’s responsibility unless the on-site option is contracted. Tools: ABB RobotStudio, KUKA.Sim, Robotmaster — software seats and licence access are agreed in the SoW.
