Dear Support Team,
I am working on a simulation project involving a conveyor line with 20 robots and 20 stop‑and‑go stations. Each robot performs a different operation depending on the selected SKU. Since each SKU has a different geometry, every robot requires a corresponding SKU‑specific program. Additionally, each station includes subassemblies that vary according to the SKU model being processed.
I would like to understand the most efficient method to simulate multiple SKUs under the following conditions:
-
When a SKU is selected, the simulation should automatically load the correct geometry for that SKU.
-
All 20 robots should automatically switch to the corresponding SKU‑specific robot programs without manual intervention.
-
Each station should display and use the correct SKU‑specific subassemblies.
-
I would like to avoid manually hiding or unhiding SKU models or subassemblies at each station.
-
The overall process should support seamless SKU switching and full automation of program selection and model replacement.
Kindly advise whether there is a recommended workflow, variant management method, or automated configuration process that can achieve this. Any best practices, documentation, or examples would be highly appreciated.
感谢您的支持。 此致, Mohit Keshav Tilma 2026年2月3日 下午3:40 您没有说明有多少个SKU/产品。 如果少于5个,我可能会为每个SKU创建一个单独的流程,并对应相应的产品和子装配。这样您可以为每个产品选择不同的几何形状,并定义该SKU/产品特有的流程。 如果超过5个,我可能会尝试创建一个具有不同属性的单一产品。eCat中的“自动仓库系统”布局展示了一个很好的例子: 使用组件“Excel读取器”(eCat → 杂项)或 **变量缓存插件** 您可以从Excel文件中读取数值。这样您可以只创建一个产品,并在流程中定义何时创建它、使用哪个SKU、哪种颜色/尺寸、需要多少处理时间等。 图表 1808×1012 623 KB 如果您在机器人流程建模中使用流程建模,您可以在流程中 **使用过滤器** 根据产品属性将产品传输到特定流程。如果您使用机器人程序,则可以使用If或Switch循环,根据产品属性调用不同的程序。
Sincerely,
Mohit Keshav
