<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nHowever, not all robotic applications make good turnkey solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A few factors to consider when evaluating potential applications include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Consistency of Task and Customization \u2014<\/strong> Robot applications that involve a very repetitive integration process with minimal variability are ideal candidates. If clients usually require the same types of customization, consider creating a turnkey solution.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Clearly Defined Inputs and Outputs \u2014<\/strong> The best applications for turnkey solutions are those that work with a clearly defined set of inputs and outputs. For example, a palletizing process<\/a> for equally sized boxes is easier to standardize than one that for unknown, varied objects.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Standardized Procedures and Requirements\u2014<\/strong> Certain industries or settings may have processes that are highly consistent across businesses. For example, automotive painting processes<\/a> are often similar between manufacturers. Such processes can be a suitable candidate for developing a turnkey solution.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
If you want to maximize your turnkey solution’s appeal in the market, choose applications that are more likely to meet such criteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5 Great Robot Applications for Pre-Engineered Robotics Solutions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Many applications could be suitable for developing a pre-engineered robotic solution. Some are already well tested in the market, with various integration companies offering them to their customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RoboDK is a popular choice of robot programming software<\/a> for providers of turnkey solutions, offering high flexibility and reliability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are 5 great applications for turnkey solutions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Material Removal and Deburring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Material removal tasks, like deburring, can be perfect candidates for pre-engineered solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DIY Robotics offers a range of modular pre-engineered solutions with RoboDK as the programming environment<\/a>. Their robotic deburring cell offers the flexibility of robots in an easy-to-deploy solution and comes with a range of customizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n2. Robotic Machining<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Robot machining is fast becoming a rival technology to CNC machining for some applications. It offers high flexibility at an affordable cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sunrob Robotics created a pipe milling turnkey solution<\/a> that uses RoboDK as its programming software. The entire system fits within a single shipping container and speeds up the milling process by an impressive 20%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Welding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Robotic welding is already a mainstay in industries like automotive and aerospace manufacturing. The process involves repetitive, well-defined motions that are highly suited to robotic automation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RoboDK offers features that support many types of robot welding<\/a> including spot welding and plasma welding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Palletizing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Palletizing is an end-of-line process that often involves very repetitive actions. It is becoming a popular robotic application in both large and small businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RoboDK is well-suited to turnkey palletizing solutions. The software includes a dedicated palletizing plugin that works with any brand of robot<\/a> and supports many models of palletizing robots from various manufacturers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n5. Assembly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Assembly tasks often involve repetitive actions and can be easily standardized for particular industries or task types. For example, you might create a pre-engineered solution that specializes in screwdriving, pin insertion, or adhesive application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RoboDK excels at assembly tasks and can be used in industries like electronics manufacturing<\/a> to streamline the programming process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How RoboDK Supports These Applications with Its Comprehensive Toolset<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
How can using RoboDK help you develop a pre-engineered solution that your customers will love?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RoboDK<\/a> offers a powerful and versatile toolset designed to support a wide range of automation applications. It supports hundreds of robot models from dozens of brands, making it easy to standardize your programming processes no matter what application you are integrating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your choice of robot programming software is important both for you and for the users of your pre-engineered solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By choosing RoboDK, you can offer your customers an intuitive, customized programming interface that allows them to operate their own robot without requiring you to do everything for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We also offer an extensive collection of free training resources<\/a> that your customers can use to learn how to program your turnkey robotic solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What Will Be Your Next Turnkey Robotic Solution?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Now is a great time to create pre-engineered solutions to sell to your customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some applications are better candidates as turnkey solutions than others. But, if you follow our advice and prioritize applications that are consistent, standardizable, and in high demand, you can create a catalog of pre-engineered solutions that will benefit both you and your customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
