Software Configuration

Software Configuration

A software configuration created at the sales organization will be available and visible for all customer organizations.

We recommend creating project defined configurations at customer organization. Then the configuration will only be available for that particular customer and not all of the customer. This will help you to keep the list more relevant at each customer organization.

This a where you can set up your own defined software configuration specially designed for you project.

This will enable you to test different settings and how it will affect your palletizing project.

Start by giving your software configuration and suitable name

Software versions

Choose your Polyscope and Pally version. If you set them to latest, MRC will always use the latest version even if there are updates after you created the SW configuration.

Here you can also choose older versions if that is relevant to your simulation.

Robot safety settings

Here you set the robot safety settings. They will ovveride Pally speed settings, so you can not set Pally speed settings higher than the robot safety settings.

After setting the Robot safety settings you can see the max speed and acceleration. In the Pally speed settings you can only limit these setting lower than the safety settings.

Setting them higher will have no effect since the Robot safety settings will overide your Pally speed settings.

Gripper settings

Gripper optoimization - this enables to gripper to pick in different angles in pickup position. Pally will calculate what pickup angle is most efficient.

4-way enables the gripper to pick from the front, the back, left and right.

2-way enable the gripper to pick fomr either the front or the back

None forces the gripper to only pick from the front

Advanced gripper settings

Use custom grip delay - here you can add the time your gripper uses for turning on and off vacuum, or how long mechanical gripper uses for opening and closing

Use shim paper delay - here you can add the estimated time a shim paper handling cycle will take. The simulation video can not show the shim paper cycle, but it will add the time when calculating the palletizing efficiency in products per minute.

Advanced Pally Settings

Smart acceleration, High approach boost, Approach distance, Fixed approach, Above pick position, and Box free height. All these options have a question mark where you can find relevant information on what the particular setting controls.

Palletize single pallet allows you to limit the simulation to only palletize the left pallet. Useful if you have a pattern with a lot of boxes and you want to limit the time it takes to create a complete simulation.

Disable optimove enables you to simulate with the old motion logic, which was used before optimove was implemented.

Smart exits - This enables you to set your own smart exit values to simulate your project.
