Kineo CAM Extends its Partnership with Profactor GmbH

Kineo CAM announces the signature of a corporate agreement with Profactor GmbH for the delivery of KineoWorks™ automatic path planning library.

Profactor GmbH is an industrial research and technology development company covering industrial solutions in advanced robotics such as inspection, measuring, cooperative and adaptive robotic systems.

Profactor’s first project using KineoWorks™ will be shown at Hannover Fair 2009. The system called 3D-Prompt is able to recognize real moving objects and to pick them up from their environment. Profactor will present an industry-oriented solution for the "random bin picking" where the box and the inside objects will be scanned, and the Profactor-3D-Prompt software will recognize the parts.

The automatically computed withdrawal path (extraction / taking) is computed by the KineoWorks™ path planning software from Kineo CAM.

The showcase is controlled by yet another Profactor software which is based on EN 61499 standard for distributed systems and will be presented in Hall 17 Stand B24 at Hannover Messe April 20-24, 2009.
