Too expensive, too complicated, and too laborious! For a long time, these were the main reasons why it made no sense for many SMEs to use robots. The German Robotics Association (DRV) wants to change this...

Robots now play an indispensable role in modern manufacturing, as those familiar with the scene know. The systems are also taking on more and more tasks that are too dangerous, too monotonous, or too complex for humans. But how can it be ensured that the interaction between humans and robots (human-robot collaboration) runs smoothly, effectively, and responsibly? At this point, the DRV, a lobbying organization for the robotics industry in Germany, becomes active in answering the question. It represents the concerns and needs of its members, the manufacturers, the users, the service providers, and the relevant research institutions in the field of robotics. The work aims to optimize productivity, quality, and sustainability. Education and further training also play a major role. A project is currently underway that involves the robot driving license...

You can qualify for working with robots

The robot driver's license is a qualification that certifies the holders that they are capable of operating a robot, programming it, and planning facilities, among other things, as explained by the DRV. It is intended to increase the competence and confidence of robot users, and at the same time improve the safety and quality of robotics. As supporting tools, the participants use Delmia from Dassault Systèmes. And Bechtle PLM Germany GmbH provides the software, assists with implementation, and trains the participants in its application. With Delmia, they offer a mature software that leads to better planning, simulation, and optimization of production processes. This enables users to digitally map their production, test different scenarios, identify bottlenecks, and increase the efficiency and quality of products, as further elaborated by Bechtle PLM Germany.

Digital tools reduce costs and optimize processes

The Delmia software from Dassault is also specifically designed for medium-sized businesses that need to remain flexible and competitive. It is ideal for companies that want better collaboration between the development, manufacturing, logistics, and quality departments. Last but not least, SMEs now finally need to tackle automation comprehensively, the report continues. With smaller budgets, this is not always easy, especially since many productions are too complex to rely on standard cells or cobots, as the DRV must admit. Therefore, they are pleased to have Bechtle with Delmia from Dassault Systémes on board for the robot driver's license. After all, simulation represents an important cornerstone for modern automation. With the help of Delmia, entrepreneurs, plant managers or designers can finally simulate their own production as a digital twin, including robot programming, before it is then implemented in steel and iron.

The robot driver's license increases the chances of getting a job

The robot driver's license consists of different modules, which can vary depending on the type, function, and application area of the robot. The robot driver's license is also a valuable certificate that significantly increases the competence and career opportunities of robot users, as noted by the DRV. The training contributes significantly to combating the shortage of skilled workers in the field of robotics by qualifying more people for this professional branch and motivating them as well. As mentioned before, Bechtle PLM Germany GmbH supports the acquisition of the robot driver's license. And with the Delmia software, participants learn to plan, simulate, and optimize their production processes.
