ABAGY is AI and machine-vision-based software for industrial robots
Our solution can increase your throughput, improve quality and consistency, and can be applied to almost any robotic and welding equipment - new or retrofitted.
You just simply load the part and select the welding parameters. The robots and software will do the rest.
No programming. No teach pendant. Easy to switch from one product to another.

WATCH what products our customers weld
Auger
ABAGY automatically coordinates the simultaneous movements of the auger and the torch to create a uniform, continuous weld without programming. No need to flip or reposition parts.
Bridge Structures
Steel Bridge Manufacturer welds more than 50 different part types per month in a single robotic cell. They don't have programmers on staff.
Excavator Bucket
Previously, programming a welding robot for one bucket took days or weeks. Now programming takes 10 minutes.
HOW IT WORKS
Freely place the part in the robotic cell. No reference points. Using machine vision, robots with ABAGY can “see”: they scan the work zone and the part.
load the part
Just a few clicks, no programming. You select the welds and set the welding parameters; enter only once and those selections are saved. No knowledge of robotics or programming is required.
define parameters
Robots weld the part, adapting to the deviations. 100% automatically. Suitable for any type of production, even for one-offs.

Abagy breaks the stereotype about robots being applicable only for the mass production of thousands of identical products. Previously robotization was difficult due to the complexity of programming. Each point in the robot's trajectory had to be programmed. It was long and expensive, as highly paid programmers were required.
ABAGY PRODUCT
Advances in artificial intelligence and machine vision have made robotics viable in industries where historically adoption has been low. Now with ABAGY, robots are autonomous and do not require programming.
We can install the robotic system. Also, if you want you can do it yourself or invite an integrator
Robotic cells' configurations can vary:
- one/multiple robots
- one/multiple work areas,
- with/without external axis - tracks, gantry, positioners, etc.

FAQ
According to the American Welding Society (AWS), the US will face a shortage of 400,000 welders by 2024. Robots can help solve this problem. With ABAGY, any knowledgeable worker can easily control robots. Thus, one operator with a robot will be able to do the work of 3-5 manual welders.
In addition, robotic welding has the following advantages:
1. High-quality welding. Maximum accuracy, consistent and predictable output.
2. Robot Arc Time is 60-80%, and Human Arc Time is 10-30%.
3. With robots, savings on consumables: 10% wire, 10% gas, 30% on grinding welds after finishing welding
4. Safe production process

In the traditional approach, there are several ways to program robots. The first programming method was developed by robot manufacturers. Using a teach pendant, you need to program each point of the robot's trajectories.
The second option – offline systems – differs in that programming takes place not inside the robotic cell, but in a virtual environment. In both cases, you need a highly-paid programmer. Every part needs to be programmed. In other words, it is long and expensive.
If you have a high-mix production, switching from one part to another is extremely difficult.
But thanks to ABAGY's solution based on AI and machine vision, robots no longer need to be programmed.

ABAGY is compatible with both industrial robots and cobots.
Industrial robots and cobots have a fundamental difference in safety. Cobots were created to work with humans. Therefore, they are more mobile and compact, with a more intuitive control interface.
But in both cases, programming works according to similar principles: it is required to program each point of the robot's trajectories.
ABAGY allows you to use the advantages of both types of robots while giving you the opportunity not to program at all.

Advanced Robotic Welding Programming Software such as ABAGY streamlines the programming process for welding robots. It utilizes cutting-edge technologies such as machine vision to automate and simplify programming tasks.
With this Robotic Welding Programming Software, manufacturers only upload the 3D model of the product and define the necessary parameters of the welding task. The software then automatically generates the robot trajectories, determining the welding robot's optimal paths and movements.
Additionally, the software can adapt to changes in part positions, deviations during pre-assembly, and the presence of fixtures or clamps. This adaptability ensures that the welding robot can handle variations in the production environment, maintaining precision and quality in the welding process.
By eliminating the need for manual programming, Robotic Welding Programming Software reduces the programming time, minimizes errors, and enhances overall efficiency. It enables manufacturers to quickly set up welding tasks, even without specialized programming or robotics expertise, making robotic welding more accessible and cost-effective for various industries.

Regarding the robotic cell configuration, the first step is to determine what size product you will be welding. This will help you understand what work zone you need, also whether you will need tracks or a gantry. Then understand what throughput you need to provide (you need one or more robots, one or more work zones). Our software works with any configuration (any number of axes).
Our team of experienced engineers can help you determine the best configuration for your production needs.
