A method for warning a person in a working area about at least one first robot, and a robot system that includes the at least one first robot, wherein the movement of the robot in a future working interval is predicted, a determination is made as to whether a working area segment will be passed over by the robot in a first or second time period, a first or second visual warning is emitted in accordance with when the working area segment will be passed over, and the first or second visual warnings are respectively emitted onto a floor segment that is assigned to a respective working area segment.

Warning method and robot system

The invention relates to a system and a method for analyzing a production process. In order to make it possible to analyze the production process in an improved manner for the purpose of production planning, the invention proposes a method for analyzing a production process in which at least one production device that is controlled by a control program is involved, wherein the method has the following method steps: at least one part of the control program is simulated using a simulation program and instructions which are executed in this case are logged, and an associated data record, in which the real-time requirement of an action caused by the logged instruction on the production device is respectively assigned to the logged instructions, is generated.

System and method for analyzing a production process

The invention relates to a system for determining the wear state of a machine tool. It has a machine tool with a controller, a production control computer and the tool database via a respective data connection. A simulation computer, by way of a simulation process, while taking into account actual machine, production and tool data of the machine tool, is provided for determining data describing the wear state of the machine tool and for feeding said data to a display unit or a further process via a data connection.
