Previously users could only apply path ordering when inside a CAM operation (contouring, welding, etc). Now the users can order any Robot program with the context menu (right click → order…) to apply direct ordering on Device pane.
For multi-robot cells, path ordering on the Device side available for each robot.
The system takes the first non-home operation as the initial start point for optimizing the ordering.
On Device side
For cases when there is more than one operation. If there is a single operation with multiple paths, that must be reordered on the task side.
Fast ordering
The fast ordering sorting algorithm uses the nearest neighbor approach. From the current path, it goes to the closest neighboring path to the current path, based on the start and end points of the two paths in 3D space.
Optimized ordering
(minimized robot travel distance (or time?)
The distance would be calculated for a linear move, and not a joint move.
Apply Task ordering
Button to take order from the task side and override current order.
