Orangewood Labs aims to make robots safe, affordable and capable of coping with modern-day manufacturing challenges and hence uses 3DEXPERIENCE platform helps Orangewood to communicate ideas and designs with partners involved, and reduce calculation errors and fabrication rework.

According to Dassault Systèmes, Orangewood Labs is using its 3DEXPERIENCE platform to help develop its robot technology and speed up the manufacturing process. Orangewood Labs can support its vision to democratise robots to create a more equitable and inclusive future, where the benefits of cutting-edge robotics technology are available to all. It aims to develop affordable, safe, and robust robotic arms that are ideal for use across manufacturing applications such as visual inspection, power coating, pick and place, packaging and more.

The 3DEXPERIENCE platform has been instrumental in creating accurate virtual models, simulating robot performance, improving safety and efficiency, and identifying potential issues early on. The platform offers Orangewood Labs a holistic, real-time vision of creating a new generation of robotic arms that are more affordable, flexible, and accessible than ever before. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform’s 3D modelling and virtual reality (VR) technology is playing an incremental role in efficiently communicating designs and ideas to customers and partners involved, resulting in more productive collaborations. The platform connects people, ideas, data, and solutions in a single collaborative environment, offering a real-time view of the activities through 3D modelling, virtual twin simulation, and information intelligence to augment project efficiency in key project areas like design, planning, budgeting, prototyping and execution.

Deepak NG, Managing Director India, Dassault Systèmes said, “The 3DEXPERIENCE platform enables Orangewood Labs to strengthen the robotics arms manufacturing process by ensuring faster development, reduced wastage, and performance efficiency. The platform will help streamline the manufacturing process and offer the required flexibility to deliver customized and connected robotics solutions. We look forward to working with Orangewood Labs to develop accessible and affordable robotic technology solutions that can help them achieve their goals of creating a safer, more efficient and more productive world for all.”

Abhinav Das, Chief Executive Officer, Orangewood Labs said, “Robots are transforming industries and revolutionizing the way we work and live. By leveraging the power of automation, artificial intelligence, and collaborative technologies, we can unlock new levels of productivity, efficiency, and safety, while also creating new opportunities for growth and innovation.” 

The use of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform has resulted in speeding up the product development time by as much as 40 percent. Also, the accuracy of 3D models has helped to enhance the performance, safety and efficiency of the robots, thereby reducing the fabrication rework by around 70 percent. The simulation capabilities are aiding in the effective calculation of the reach of the robots, resulting in better decision-making and planning.
