MTpro from Bosch Rexroth is an intuitive software program that allows users to design optimal layouts for assembly systems for increased efficiency.
Realise lean production!
Assembly technology and software from Bosch Rexroth offers everything you need for efficient production.
The MPS range consists of ergonomically-designed workspace furniture and equipment modules that help to facilitate lean production.
Traditional workspaces and production lines are constituted by generic, universal equipment. By contrast, the MPS is assembled precisely according to the required movements and the dimensions and arrangement of space dictated by the specific production activity the equipment is intended for.
Each installation is configured to meet the needs of each particular production line, MPS eliminates most inefficiencies relating to manual (non-automated) production.
Time and energy resources spent on overcoming inefficient workspace design and function can thus be invested in more economically valuable activities.
Enhance your workspace performance with the MPS! Send us enquiry today to get started.

ActiveAssist
Modular, connected, and interactive… The new assistance system from Bosch Rexroth, ActiveAssist, is revolutionising the manual workstation. The ActiveAssist software solution supports employees with targeted information and help functions to guarantees high process reliability.
The open software solution is another building block on the road to the factory of the future. ActiveAssist identifies the workpiece by RFID or barcode and loads the required work plan immediately onto the monitor. Work instructions are then projected directly onto the work surface using a projector and the correct grab container is marked. This guides the employee step by step through the workflow, all the information ergonomically positioned in their field of vision.
Modular: ActiveAssist has a modular design in both software and hardware and is freely configurable. Users can equip each assembly station with different assistance functions. In addition, the open software incorporates sensors from various manufacturers.
Connected: ActiveAssist uses web-based software and is a flexible and open system. This guarantees global access and allows numerous systems and assembly stations to be thoroughly connected in real-time.
Interactive: By incorporating touchscreens, 3D cameras and projectors, various interactive assistance functions can be realised. From the projection of work instructions and light pulse guidance to tool tracking and gesture recognition.
