At Eleven Dynamics AG, our focus is on driving innovation in automation and robotics. A key component of this mission is our cutting-edge 3D visualization technology, powered by a proprietary 3D engine.
This technology plays a pivotal role in enhancing the capabilities of Eleven Dynamics Automation Suite (EDAS), our flagship software, providing users with an immersive and intuitive experience.
3D visualization is at the heart of the EDAS experience, offering a dynamic platform where users interact with and conceptualize automation solutions. It's here that improvements in visibility, clarity, and usability make the most impact, directly enhancing user engagement and the effectiveness of EDAS in solving complex challenges.
Our 3D engine combines high performance with the latest in visual technology. Inspired by advancements seen in AAA gaming, it incorporates features such as improved SSAO algorithms and dynamic Bloom effects, offering depth and realism to the visual experience.
Features like Order Independent Transparency tackle the complexities of rendering transparent objects efficiently, while additional features such as Anti-Aliasing, Smooth Shading, HDR, and Ambient Occlusion ensure a visually rich and engaging environment.
The speed at which a project or part gets loaded onto the GPU to be visible in the scene determines the responsiveness of Nexos. The faster this happens, the more productive work time is available, reducing the waiting period even if by a few seconds or milliseconds.
Our 3D engine stands out with its upcoming open-source nature and the fact that it is fast and visually pleasing. It significantly improves the feel and appearance of EDAS, providing an enriching user experience.
In EDAS, the 3D visualization is central for a reason. During the planning phase, robots are constantly selected and moved using their visualization. During simulation, the visualization is observed to ensure everything works as intended. Lastly, during execution, the visualization is used to monitor what the robot is doing and what it measures. This visual feedback is invaluable at every step of the process, without which tasks would be significantly more challenging.
The aim is to create a digital twin of the real-world setup. The more accurate the digital representation is to reality, the easier it is to plan and verify using the simulation that everything will function as intended in the real-world setup.
Although not directly affecting real-time connectivity, the engine provides invaluable insights into robot actions and measurements, offering a real-time perspective that bridges the gap between digital simulations and physical realities.
By making EDAS more intuitive and engaging, our 3D engine indirectly supports quality control processes. A more accurate digital twin simplifies the verification of plans and processes, facilitating smoother project executions.
Our 3D engine, with its resemblance to a game-like simulation rather than a sterile, flatly shaded, CAD visualization, provides a more welcoming environment for non-experts. This approachability, coupled with enhanced usability, encourages non-robotics experts to embrace and use EDAS more effectively, thereby enhancing overall efficiency.
As we've explored, the integration of our proprietary 3D engine within EDAS marks a significant leap forward in the automation and robotics landscape. By bridging the gap between complex technological capabilities and user-friendly interfaces, we've not only streamlined quality control processes but also opened up new possibilities for innovation and efficiency.
