Orbit Products

Our most comprehensive industrial software solution to date, Virtual Factory™ gives manufacturing and distribution professionals a powerful tool for the real-time monitoring and historical analysis of the activities of their machines, devices, and personnel. The recently-added RFID tracking feature allows Virtual Factory™ to track any third-party RFID tag and notifies users of the movement of critical items such as raw materials, WIP items, finished goods, and capital assets. Video monitoring, online status panel, data reporting, user notification, and Web-enabled data access all come standard with Virtual Factory™.

Signal Manager adds a powerful new dimension to traditional visual and audio signaling systems. By connecting Signal Manager to manually-operated or automatically activated light towers and chimes via any third-party digital I/O device, the software will log the exact dates/times that any given set of signals is fired. Users can analyze signal history data to conduct lean manufacturing and Six Sigma-inspired initiatives, rooting out inefficiency latent in any work process or manufacturing cell. Signal Manager can also be instructed to automatically notify users via phone, pager, or e-mail when the status of key signals changes.

Ready to get on board with the RFID revolution but not sure which of the many available solutions to choose from? Orbit can help. RealTRAK™ from Orbit is a software product that can accept signals from any type of RFID hardware system. It adds significant value to any system by analyzing RFID tag signals and firing events when user-defined conditions are met by the movement of tagged items. RealTRAK™ is available to customers as a total solution (software + hardware), or it can be utilized with customers' existing RFID hardware systems to add intelligence and usability. RealTRAK™ can interface with any third-party RFID hardware system and with multiple system types, including LF, HF, UHF, UWB, and WiFi systems.

OrbitSim saves manufacturers time and money by enabling offline robot simulation. It accurately simulates a robot's motion and resolves collisions between the robot and other potential obstructions. The software supports any robot type that is compliant with RRS (Realistic Robot Simulation) interface. OrbitSim also supports the concurrent simulation of multiple robots (with up to 32 axes each) and resources, such as positioning devices. Also features inverse kinematics support.
