Real Results from Real Manufacturers
See how leading companies like Trane, Mercury Marine, and global equipment manufacturers have changed their operations with Sofos Robotics.
Trane: From 80 Hours to 30 Minutes
HVAC Manufacturing Leader • La Crosse, WI
Trane manufactures highly customized HVAC chillers requiring thousands of tube-rolling operations. Traditional teach pendant programming took over 80 hours per job, keeping robots offline and risking production deadlines.
After discovering Robotmaster at IMTS 2018, Trane partnered with Sofos Robotics to implement offline programming. The results changed their operation, enabling programming without taking robots offline, improving worker safety, and allowing operators to transition to higher-value roles.
"Using the Robotmaster OLP method, it takes us 30 minutes to program the tube-rolling cell, without taking the robot offline."Doug Watkins Senior Welding Engineer, Trane
Manufacturers Getting Results
Improving Grinding & Polishing Operations
Mercury Marine, a leading marine engine manufacturer since 1939, struggled with inefficient robotic programming for their grinding and polishing systems. Traditional methods demanded a week-long effort from three skilled experts and yielded inconsistent quality.
By partnering with Sofos Robotics, Mercury Marine changed its process so programmers of all levels could deliver consistent, high-quality results.
Cutting Robot Downtime by 75%
A global leader in compact equipment manufacturing faced significant robot downtime affecting their frame welding operations. Programming new frames took an entire week, causing costly production delays.
Partnering with Sofos Robotics, they adopted Robotmaster, which slashed programming time from a week to a single day. Advanced feasibility tools now allow the team to validate new frame designs instantly, minimizing redesign delays.
Aerospace Manufacturer Achieves Dramatically Faster Programming
A Tier 1 aerospace supplier struggled with complex 5-axis machining programs for turbine blade finishing. Manual programming of intricate geometries took weeks and required specialized expertise that was difficult to hire.
Robotmaster's advanced toolpath optimization and collision avoidance enabled their team to program complex aerospace parts in hours instead of weeks, while meeting stringent AS9100 quality requirements.
Automotive Supplier Doubles Welding Cell Throughput
A Tier 2 automotive supplier faced pressure to increase production capacity without adding floor space. Their multi-robot welding cells were bottlenecked by teach pendant programming that took the entire line offline for days.
With Robotmaster, they now program new part variants while production continues, and the optimized robot paths dramatically reduced cycle times across their welding operations.
What Our Customers Say
"John's 3-day Robotmaster training was highly effective. He calibrated two robot cells, created accurate digital twins, and guided us through programming our first part. Highly recommend."
"No other offline programming software can do what this software can do. It even beats FANUC's own Roboguide software for complex CAD to Path."
"Came to help with setting up my robot cells, ended up teaching me a lot more about the robots than I already knew. 10/10 would call on again."
"Excellent calibration service. Our robot accuracy improved dramatically after their visit. The team was professional and thorough throughout the entire process."
"Robotmaster changed everything for us. What used to take days now takes hours. The support from Sofos has been outstanding from day one."
"Best investment we've made in our welding department. The training was comprehensive and the software is incredibly powerful yet easy to use."
