Case Study: Kawasaki Heavy Industries achieves faster, more accurate robot programming with Spatial

Kawasaki Heavy Industries cuts robot programming development time with Spatial

Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. faced significant challenges in automating complex robot teaching processes based on 3D CAD data. Technical hurdles included inconsistent CAD format conversions, geometry inaccuracies, and the high cost of developing advanced visualization and simulation capabilities from scratch. To overcome this, they partnered with Spatial Corp to integrate a suite of its software development kits, including CGM Modeler, 3D InterOp, HOOPS Visualize, and the AGM framework, into their neoROSET solution.

The solution implemented by Spatial provided Kawasaki with precise 3D modeling, unified CAD translation, and high-quality visualization. This integration resulted in dramatically improved development efficiency, a reduction in both training costs and development time, and the ability to rapidly validate robot implementation without disrupting on-site operations. The collaboration with Spatial enabled KHI to create a market-leading solution that streamlines manufacturing automation and improves quality across the entire robot deployment lifecycle.
