OCP for Visual Components

Overview

Automated motion planning inside Visual Components

Extend Visual Components with automated robot motion planning. byte robotics uses your digital task definition to find movements that account for cell geometry, robot kinematics and process requirements.

Built around your engineering workflow. The integration is designed for system integrators, machine builders and in-house automation teams that already plan robot cells in a virtual environment.

Evaluate alternatives earlier. When the layout, robot position or process requirements change, regenerate the motion and compare alternatives in your simulation environment.

Start with the right inputs. Planning requires a robot-cell model, relevant geometry, process positions and task constraints. We review the functions and output formats available for your software and robot combination against your application.

Take the result through to commissioning. Generated motion feeds into your simulation and programming workflow. Process checks, transfer to the controller and validation on the physical cell remain part of commissioning.

Main Purpose

More efficient engineering
Prepare for commissioning
Cycle-Time Optimization
Optimize motion sequences
Automated programming
Process

From task definition to motion you can evaluate

Step 1

Define the task and robot cell

Specify geometry, process positions and motion requirements in Visual Components. These inputs form the basis for planning.

Step 2

Generate and optimize motion

byte robotics searches for feasible motion, accounts for collisions in the model and optimizes the sequence with cycle time in mind.

Step 3

Review the result and put it to work

Evaluate the motion in your engineering environment. Refine the task where needed, then use the reviewed result for subsequent programming and commissioning.

Features

More flexibility in your Visual Components workflow

Less manual path planning

Generate robot motion from the task definition and reduce repetitive programming steps.

Account for collisions in the model

Include geometry and obstacles in the search for suitable motion from the outset.

Optimize cycle times

Evaluate alternative movements with the performance of your robot cell in mind.

Assess changes sooner

Regenerate motion after layout or process changes and compare the results.

Build on existing data

Use the geometry and process information already available in your engineering workflow.

Frequently asked questions

Find answers about integrations, robot support, automated motion generation and workflow fit.

Does byte robotics replace our offline programming environment?

byte robotics adds automated motion planning to your engineering environment. The integrations for Visual Components, KUKA.Sim and iiQWorks.Sim build on your existing simulation and programming workflow.

Planning uses the robot cell, relevant geometry, process positions and constraints. We review the requirements for your software version before you get started.

What does byte robotics automate, and what remains with the engineering team?

byte robotics generates and optimizes robot motion from a digital task definition. Planning accounts for geometry, robot kinematics and the specified process requirements.

Your team defines the process and reviews the result. Available program formats depend on the integration and target system. Validation on the physical cell remains part of commissioning.

Can we integrate motion planning into our own software?

byte robotics Headless provides the planning and optimization technology as a software component. Your application supplies the task and robot data, then consumes the generated motion.

We agree on interfaces, data formats, deployment and licensing in the context of your architecture and application. A description of your product and intended workflow is a useful starting point.

Funding & recognition

Supported on the path from research to industry.

Public funding helped us turn research into robust industrial technology. In 2023, the team behind byte robotics, then known as AuRora, won the Automotive cluster of the IQ Innovation Award Central Germany. Two awards in the Startup Competition – Digital Innovations followed in 2025.
