From the device side, you can automatically order operations for any robot program. This can be done by right-clicking a program and selecting Order paths.

...

For multi-robot cells, automatic ordering of operations on the device side is available for each robot individually.The system takes the first non-home operation as the initial start point for automatic ordering.

On Device side

For cases when there is

containing multiple paths,

...

the paths must be reordered on the task side.

First For automatic ordering, the first operation in the list is where the sequence startsbegins. It will re-order the remaining operations from that point, based on the sorting method.

Fast ordering

The fast ordering sorting algorithm method uses the nearest neighbor approach. Starting with the first path, the algorithm finds the closest neighboring path, based on the start and end points of the two paths in 3D space. It then proceeds to the next closest path until the entire sequence is complete.

...

The Optimized ordering sorting algorithm method attempts to minimize overall robot travel distance for the entire sequence. Sometimes, this method will select a next path that is further away than others in order to optimize the entire sequence.

...

For parts with only a few paths, the difference in Out of Process Time time estimation between Fast and Optimized ordering is minimal. The difference may be more noticeable for larger programs with many paths.
