Modern manufacturing companies are getting better, flexible, and sophisticated as well. If proper planning and testing are not done prior to establishing any production system on a factory floor, misfortunes and losses can happen. This thesis project aims to tackle such problems by introducing strong visualization software that is used for designing factories’s production system as per customers’ demands. This document covers the fundamental information for getting started with the software and a sample application has been built by the author for demonstration. Robotic technology is being adopted by all scales of companies since the past decade. This project also aims at providing fundamental knowledge about robotics and its related information to the readers. After drafting a layout in Visual Components software (simulation), the author has realized the application in a physical environment utilizing UR5 cobot from Universal Robots. Details about the robotic system and its programming, components, end-effectors has been examined in the theoretical part of this thesis. The ways to integrate and establish communication between these technologies have also been studied in this document. The author finds these technologies beneficial for current and future manufacturing companies.
