Sumcab Robotics Software & Programming develops advanced solutions including palletising and load handling, robotic tool calibration, IoT application development and custom applications.

This programming service caters to demanding industries such as automotive, manufacturing, machinery, pharmaceuticals and food and beverage.

Sumcab Robotics, the Sumcab business unit specialising in manufacturing energy packages and pre-terminated connectorized cables, adds a new robot programming service to its value proposition: Sumcab Robotics Software & Programming

The mission of this service is to develop advanced solutions, offering an extensive range of custom services that include programming, such as palletising and load handling, robotic tool calibration and custom industrial robotics applications. The service promises to increase efficiency, reliability and productivity while reducing costs

Programming process

The roadmap for the new service has been developed drawing on Sumcab Robotics' expertise and professionalism. Starting from the feasibility study and technical definition, the team develops turnkey, customised solutions for complex applications. In a second phase, the solution is optimised, aiming to improve the precision of applications and reduce cycle time. During installation, technical personnel make sure that the application is working correctly and carry out preventive maintenance to avoid future failures. The team accompanies the customer throughout the entire process to provide optimal, personalised and comprehensive service.

Connecting the robotics of the future

Sumcab Robotics' new proposal materialises in an extensive range of programming modes in the following areas:

Palletising and load handling. This involves designing applications and software in the robot for efficient palletising. As a result, product storage and transport are optimised, thereby reducing costs and production times.

Onboard robotic tool calibration. This service ensures optimal performance of robotic tools, maintaining the quality and consistency of operations. The technologies for each specific situation are also analysed.

IoT (Internet of Things) application development. Making devices and machines intelligent is essential for enabling data collection and its transmission to other devices. The company thus uses standard industrial communication protocols such as Profinet, MQTT, Ethernet, TCP/IP and sockets, ensuring reliable and secure connectivity.

Custom applications with personalised interfaces. These apps facilitate data viewing and analysis, enabling customers to make informed decisions in real time.

Markets and applications

Sumcab Robotics' programming service will be provided from its headquarters in Sant Vicenç dels Horts (Barcelona) and will cater to highly-demanding markets, such as the automotive, pharmaceutical, food and beverage industries, machinery manufacturers and manufacturing in general.

Sumcab Robotics Software & Programming can be used in applications such as welding, handling, sealing, screwing, painting, cutting and polishing. Its extensive range of developments will help customers to improve cycle times on production lines, integrate robots using artificial intelligence and customise special applications to the end customer's standard. These performance advantages are already being developed in leading companies in the automotive and robotics manufacturing sectors.

With this innovation, Sumcab Robotics completes its offering, providing a comprehensive combination of products and services that includes everything from the initial consultation through to the development of products for specific applications, as well as optimisation and maintenance of new and existing systems.
