CenterLine, a Canadian automation and welding systems provider, implemented DELMIA Robotics to create digital models of products, processes, and factory layouts. The solution enabled offline programming, robot path validation, material flow analysis, and ergonomic checks. Results included up to 90% fewer tooling issues, 75% less floor programming time, and elimination of physical robot repositioning after installation.

Key takeaways

Virtual simulation of every robotic work cell reduced tooling issues and rework by up to 90%

Offline programming cut floor programming time by up to 75% and eliminated post-install robot moves

Single source of truth on 3DEXPERIENCE platform enabled CAD data reuse across projects and vendors

Arc welding tool paths generated automatically from seam geometry improved design-to-tooling iterations

Digital twin and virtual commissioning identified as next steps for systemic change impact analysis
