Giving Industrial Robotics Enhanced Autonomy and Flexibility

In today's industrial landscape, programming a robot has become a significant challenge. The lack of skilled labor, combined with the increasing complexity of systems, makes implementing automated solutions more difficult. Furthermore, the wide variety of programming languages specific to each manufacturer creates technological silos, further complicating the integration of robots.

These obstacles hinder the widespread adoption of robotics, as customizing and maintaining each system requires specialized skills and considerable time. This is where FuzzyRTOS comes in, a universal programming platform designed specifically for industrial robots. This unique solution simplifies and unifies robot programming while ensuring compatibility with manufacturers' safety layers, which is crucial for meeting strict industrial safety standards.

With FuzzyRTOS, companies can now overcome these challenges and deploy robots with increased flexibility and security, without compromising on quality or safety. The latest version, FuzzyRTOS V5, introduces new functionalities designed to address the flexibility, high-performance, and modularity challenges that industrial companies face today.

FuzzyRTOS: A Concentrate of Technology and Optimization

What is FuzzyRTOS? Designed to offer centralized and autonomous control, FuzzyRTOS drives industrial robots of the past, present, and future. The technical advantages of this approach are numerous:

• Optimized Trajectory Management: By directly managing robot actions, FuzzyRTOS enables smoother movements and real-time task planning. This reduces downtime and enhances the precision of repetitive tasks.

• Increased Flexibility:  FuzzyRTOS is compatible with various programming languages (Python, JavaScript, C++, etc.), allowing easy configuration of new automation workflows. This adaptability to specific production line needs makes it a unique solution.

• Autonomy and Independence: Robotic task management is no longer dependent on FuzzyStudio, Fuzzy Logic Robotics' legacy software, enabling companies to operate in a standalone mode, free from software constraints.

What's New in Version 5: Toward an Independent FuzzyRTOS

With Version 5, Fuzzy Logic Robotics pushes the boundaries of industrial automation by introducing two major features: standalone mode and an integrated sequencer.

• Standalone Mode: Toward Complete Autonomy  

Now, FuzzyRTOS can operate without FuzzyStudio. This paradigm shift makes the system fully independent in production, with the ability to manage its own projects autonomously. Project information is stored in .fsproj files, centralizing all versions and configurations of a robotic project.  

 Each FuzzyRTOS installation can now host a list of projects. Users can activate a specific project that will reload automatically upon reboot, ensuring operational continuity.  

•  Maintenance Mode: By connecting FuzzyStudio to FuzzyRTOS, a technician can retrieve and modify existing projects on the system, offering unprecedented flexibility during maintenance operations.  

• Monitoring Mode: Once a project is installed, FuzzyStudio can remain connected to serve as a graphical interface. In the future, this functionality will be complemented by a web dashboard, making interaction with the system even more intuitive and accessible.

NoCode Sequencer: A New Way to Design Tasks

  V5 also marks the arrival of an integrated sequencer, designed to simplify the creation and management of automation workflows. Through a NoCode interface, end-users can now program and modify action sequences without reliance on a PLC programmer. This sequencer transfers part of the control currently managed by the PLC directly into the FuzzyRTOS system, allowing for increased customization and maximum responsiveness.  

 Adding the sequencer is a real asset for industries seeking to optimize their processes and make production more agile. An .fsproj file can now contain multiple recipes or sequences, enabling quick program changes based on production needs.

Compatibility with Repplix and Other Programming Languages

Fuzzy Logic Robotics has always prioritized making its solutions flexible and interoperable. FuzzyRTOS V5 continues along this path by being compatible with Repplix as well as several programming languages. This openness allows companies to maintain their existing infrastructures while integrating FuzzyRTOS, without needing to alter their production environments.  

Thanks to this compatibility, FuzzyRTOS seamlessly integrates into various environments, facilitating adoption in established production lines. This versatility is essential in a sector where automation needs are as diverse as they are demanding.

Conclusion: A Pillar of Industry 4.0

By placing autonomy, flexibility/modularity, and performance at the core of its solution, Fuzzy Logic Robotics redefines industrial automation standards with FuzzyRTOS V5. By enabling autonomous project and recipe management, this system provides companies with a sustainable, scalable solution that adapts to modern production chain needs.  

FuzzyRTOS is not merely a control tool for robotic cells; it is the key to smarter, more responsive, and, above all, more accessible automation. By investing in this solution, industries gain a major asset to tackle the challenges of tomorrow, fully embracing the Industry 4.0 dynamic.
