On-the-fly VASS Standard check
Speeds, accelerations, Folge structure, access requests, interlocks and welding-gun balance are validated while you type — against the VW standard, not just the syntax.

DReS · DrAmaT Robot Studio
The offline editor built for VW-standard robot programs — and standard robots too
Four controller families in one tool: KUKA KRC and VKRC, Fanuc, ABB and Yaskawa. Write, validate and document robot programs at your desk — and catch standard violations before the robot moves.
Controllers supported

New in DReS 6.7 · AI agent
Talk to your robot programs. The AI agent does the work.
DReS is the first editor for VW-standard robot programs (VKRC, VFanuc) with a built-in AI agent — one agent for your KUKA, Fanuc, ABB and Yaskawa programs. You ask in plain words — the agent uses the functions of the editor and of the Robot Cell Simulator itself, works on your existing programs and archives and answers with a short table and its conclusions.
- Checks all robot projects at once: points, UP calls, TECH and spot-weld parameters, tools, bases, loads, Profinet, VW user — without opening a single file.
- Changes programs safely: TECH / weld parameters in many programs, always as a dry run first, saved only when you say so.
- Robot Cell Simulator: loads the station, runs the simulation, finds request races and collisions and proposes the next steps.
- Voice: “Vera, …” — commands the voice assistant does not know go straight to the AI agent.
- Your own plugins in plain words: the knowledge of the agent is a set of text files — add your company checks, naming rules or standard parameters and the agent uses them.
You use your own access to an AI model: your own API key (Anthropic, OpenAI-compatible, e.g. VW LLMaaS), your own Claude account or a local model. The usage of the model is paid directly to your AI provider — DReS adds no AI fees and no usage limits of its own. The anonymous mode replaces robot names and paths before anything leaves your PC. Included in VKRC Expert and VFanuc Expert.
Why DReS
Fix the program on your desk, not on the shop floor
Every standard violation found offline is a line stop you never had to explain.
See the cell in 3D
Load KUKA models and Process Simulate scenes, inspect the work envelope, walk the programmed path and recalculate point coordinates after a tool or base change.
Documentation without the copy-paste
Generate cell documentation, long texts and E-Plan cross-references automatically, straight from the archive you already have.
What's inside
Everything the VW standard asks of you, in one editor
DReS is not a text editor with syntax colouring. It understands the controller, the archive and the standard behind them.
Editing that knows the controller
- Standard KUKA KRC — edit KRL programs that don't follow the VW standard (separate licence)
- Standard Fanuc — the VFanuc editor also writes and saves plain Fanuc programs in KAREL
- 1 : 1 VKRC source-code view — what you see is what the robot runs
- Fully configurable command templates and auto-completer
- Configurable User Tech feature for VKRC and VFanuc
- Copy & paste directly from VW documentation examples
- Automatic reordering of M, E and A operands in FB PSPS and FB ONL
- Replace a variable (e.g. a Merker) across every file in the session
Robot & archive intelligence
- Robot Check — validates tool, base, payload, calibration and macros
- Reads the KUKA symbol table (Langtexte) from the WorkVisual project
- Explains merkers, flags and outputs defined in makro 50–59 and makrosps
- Tool, base and calibration data on a dedicated tab
Export & housekeeping
- Export every file to a Robot ZIP archive in one step
- Automatically adds a new VW User to the resources
- Automatic fixing of common syntax warnings
- Works with VKRC2 software version 5.4.0 and higher
Compare, document, verify
- File diff and full archive diff between two robot backups
- Automatic documentation generator per controller family
- Long Text Generator and Data Integrity check
- E-Plan Reader and E-Plan SPS Reader
- Robot Cell Simulator (PSZ/JT cells) and Robot Data Spy
VASS Standard
What the syntax check actually verifies
These are the rules DReS validates on every movement point, every Folge and every interlock — the ones that normally surface during commissioning.
- VB, VE and ACC parameters in all movement points
- VE and SPSTrigger in all movement points
- 1st, 2nd and last point of a Folge correctly programmed
- 1st, 2nd and last point of a Folge on the same coordinates
- Zutrittsanforderung correctly programmed
- Fahrbedingungen correctly programmed
- Roboterverriegelungen correctly programmed
- Roboterverriegelungen in every Fahrbedingung
- Genau for KLIN and KCIR points
- Welding-gun balance correctly programmed
