WIXOM, MI, USA, Sep 9, 2025 – Kawasaki Heavy Industries Robot Business Division has launched the “neoROSET VI Planner” (VI: Visual Inspection), a tool equipped with teaching and simulation functions for visual inspection robots.
neoROSET VI Planner is an extended plugin of the robot simulation software “neoROSET,” released at the end of last year. It includes three applications tailored for inspecting products with complex shapes: “Path Creator,” “SLiM,” and “Path Editor.” These applications enable automated surface-normal teaching (Path Creator), visualization of inspection coverage through lighting simulation (SLiM), and automatic generation of robot motion programs (Path Editor), significantly improving teaching accuracy and operational efficiency.
Compared to conventional manual teaching, the average teaching time per product type can be reduced by approximately 16 hours. This contributes to shortening and advancing production preparation periods, reducing line downtime, and minimizing labor costs such as weekend work.
