Details how Delfoi and Pemamek combined DELMIA IGRIP software with shipyard process knowledge to automate robot program generation for flat and curved ship blocks. The solution replaces manual on-line teaching with graphical, model-based off-line programming that includes collision detection, reachability checks, and automatic path creation for hundreds of meters of weld.

Key takeaways

OLP generates complete robot programs for 14m x 20m flat blocks in minutes versus days for on-line teaching

Graphical model-based system enables collision checks and reachability validation before execution

CAD import, macro-programming, automatic seam search, and collision recovery are core workflow steps

Segment-based visibility and semi-automatic calibration support large gantry robots with 200m travel

Process reports provide weld lengths, arc times, and estimated cycle times for planning
