Batch & Remote

Adds capabilities for unattended automatic

processing of multiple parts or assemblies and

enables external software systems to remote control AutoPOL. 

Main benefits

Reduce programming time and costs
Save production time with optimized production queues and minimizing tool changes
Integrate with your other systems
Work with Industry 4.0 integrations

Features at a glance

Automatic programming of multiple parts or assemblies
Extract single sheet metal parts from assembly files
Unattended processing
Reports the overall outcome and for each step in the process
Easy manual inspection if issues are reported
Allows external software systems to automate and control part processing
Part production queue calculation to minimize tool changing time

Batch Processing

Batch processing means that multiple parts or assemblies are processed by the software automatically. 
All necessary tasks are performed without user input, the results are reported, and production data is created. 
If issues are detected, for example if you do not have suitable tools, they are reported back through the system and the operator can review them. 

Remote control

The Remote part of the add-on enables external software systems to instruct AutoPOL to process parts or assemblies automatically and receive the results back.  
This makes it possible for existing systems, for example planning and production, to interface with AutoPOL and use it for press brake integration. 
Together with the Industry 4.0 Data Sharing protocol a broad range of integrations are possible.

In order to allow external software systems to integrate with AutoPOL, Batch & Remote enables several methods to communicate with AutoPOL. Solutions can be created with adaptable levels of integration and automation. From the simplest one, basically just populating a list of parts to process, to fully automated integrations , where entire process workflows are managed automatically. These are example methods for sending instructions, and receiving feedback of the results, to:

Populate part lists for Batch Manager
Automatically process parts
Manually inspect or modify parts/programs
Extract individual parts from assemblies
Optimize production queues

All these methods use well documented communication protocols and are easy to use for a system developer/integrator. With these tools available, it is basically your imagination that is the limit of what you can do.
