Delivered December 25, 2019. Contributor: ChristineD

Goals

Obtain information on companies that provides robotic control programs and insights to understand the developments in this sector.

Early Findings

Robotics Software ProvidersDelfoiThe Delfoi company provides "robot offline programming and simulation solutions."
These robotics programs from Delfoi help companies optimize their manufacturing and distribution operations.
The company considers itself as a leader in providing robot offline programming globally.
It has already delivered more than 600 solutions to its clients.
Its target customers come from the "automotive, aerospace, electronics, machine building, and production automation industries."
Some of its clients include robot manufacturers such as "ABB, Kone, Konecranes, Metso, Nokia, Patria, Rautaruukki, Saab, Valio, Valmet, and Volvo.
"
Delfoi has an estimated revenue of $24 million.


Visual ComponentsVisual Components captures "3D CAD data and kinematic information" from the robots that it wants to prototype.
The CAD statistics yield geometric information for the prototype.
Meanwhile, the kinematic data points provide some insights into the motion of these robots.
It usually obtains the 3D CAD figures from the robot manufacturers, their channel collaborators, or its clients.
The data points from the movements of the robotic prototypes are then given to companies that develop control program for robots such as Delfoi.
The company has an estimated revenue of $3.6 million.

Proposed next steps:

You need to be the project owner to select a next step.

Our initial research provided some companies that don't manufacture robots but construct control programs for robots. We also presented an example of a company that collects a robot's movement data that will be used to develop robotic control programs. Given that there are available resources on this topic, we propose to continue with the research to provide 2-3 additional companies that don't manufacture robots but have constructed control programs for robots. We will also provide 2-3 examples of companies that collect robot movement data that were used to develop robotic control programs. For each company, we will provide the name, website link, a 1-2 sentence overview of the company, and its value proposition. The companies can be based in the U.S. or Europe.

We also recommend undertaking additional research to provide a competitive analysis of the companies that were identified above. For each company, we will provide a 1-2 sentence company overview, the robotic programming solution offered, competitive advantage, and target customers.
