DENSO's Wincaps III offline programming software enables users to conveniently program a robot from a remote PC without operating the robot.

CAD drawings can be imported in standard VRML and DirectX formats, and variables can be easily entered or changed. A 3-D simulation feature allows layout of automation workcells in a virtual environment. Users can verify reach, determine obstacle clearances, detect collisions, troubleshoot and debug programs, and determine cycle time. The software also allows remote monitoring of workcell operations via 3 D simulation, realtime I/O status indicators and detailed control logs. A panel-design feature allows customization of the Teaching Pendant display.
