This chapter introduces the process to build a workflow, which defines the core logic of a Mech-Viz project. It covers the following topics:

Introduction

Steps are function modules for robot programming.

You can connect different Steps based on the logic of the programs to build a workflow, and you may adjust the parameters of the Steps for better performance.

Mech-Viz provides plenty of Steps to meet the requirements of various industrial scenarios, such as robot motion control, vision system connection, vision result processing, DI/DO control, logical topology, logical judgment, picking, depalletizing, and communication.
