1. Minimized time and cost for programming & optimization 2. Reduces Trials and non-productive time3. Easy-to-use, Process know-how embedded in the tool4. reduced risk (WYSIWYG)5. Reduced robot working space and cycle-time is needed6. Cost efficient line-tracking7. High overall flexibility

Can be automated in 100% case!
