No-Code Programming Tools
Programming robots shouldn’t require coding expertise. At Nordbo Robotics, we develop no-code tools that let operators transfer their knowledge directly to robots.
Our two proprietary platforms, Mimic and CraftMate, enable intuitive programming that reduces setup time, empowers shop-floor staff, and scales automation across industries.
Why No-Code Matters
Empower workers
No need for coding, operators teach the robot directly.
Accelerate deployment
Reduce programming time from weeks to hours.
Increase flexibility
Adapt to new parts or products without costly reprogramming.
Capture expertise
Standardize and replicate best practices across multiple sites.
Smart Compensation with Sensors
No-code programming makes it easy to generate robot paths and processes. But in real production, parts aren’t always perfect. Tolerances, misalignments, and material variation need intelligent handling.
That’s why we combine our platforms with sensor-based techniques:
- Force sensors – detect contact and adjust paths dynamically.
- Vision sensors – locate parts and adapt to variation in position.
- Compensation units – mechanically adjust the tool to follow part tolerances.
These techniques enhance no-code programming by making robots adaptive to real-world conditions
Our Platforms
Mimic – Teach robots by demonstration
Operators simply demonstrate a task, and Mimic captures the motion in real time.
- Real-time “show and do” programming
- Ideal for painting, powder coating, sanding, grinding, polishing, dispensing
- Minimal training required
CraftMate – Scan and plan for adaptive automation
CraftMate allows the robot to scan a workpiece and apply predefined process rules. The operator specifies the rules once, and CraftMate adapts them automatically to each new part.
- 3D scanning of workpieces
- Apply user-defined or rule-based process areas
- Consistent surface treatment across part variations
- Perfect for sanding, painting, polishing, deburring
Phoenix – No-code AI for visual inspection
Phoenix enables manufacturers to create inspection models by simply showing the AI where defects appear in sample images.
- No coding required – just annotate defects
- Trains AI models tailored to your production
- Detects scratches, dents, miscoloring, and more
- Deploy models directly to Nordbo Edge Devices for real-time inspection
