Improve automatic data acquisition, storage, traceability with user-friendly interfaces and human safety

CHALLENGE

Improve automatic data acquisition, storage, traceability with user-friendly interfaces and human safety. Simple tools for the set-up of robotized human-centric cells for production lines in different manufacturing scenarios:

Full pilot: Manufacturing of a healthcare component for diagnostic imaging
Constrained pilot: Evaluation platform for human robotic cells

USE CASE

Full pilot: Manufacturing of a healthcare component for diagnostic imaging The pilot will deal with the set-up of a manufacturing cell for a transmission component of a diagnostic image machine. Due to the importance of the product the designed pilot will need to address quality monitoring and data integration in existing IT infrastructures to ensure medial certification processes. Moreover, due to the complexity of the assembly, direct collaboration of the robot with the operator is foreseen. Therefore, components for improving the acceptance of the robotic solution and flexible safety will be evaluated and deployed.

Constrained pilot: Evaluation platform for human robotic cells This pilot will deal with implementation of SHOP4CF components in a lab scenario. This will be necessary to prove the effectiveness of the components before delivery to real manufacturing scenarios. The global task, hence, is further development of collaborative robotics, digital twin apps, cloud-based systems, in connection with RAMI4.0 as human centered robotic handling application. The constrained pilot may be transported to conventions and fairs, the full pilot may host tours for internal dissemination, publications, website articles, workshops, or open source publications. The developed apps will be partly provided on open source platforms, extensions of open source systems by usage of Siemens software APIs for seamless integration into product life cycle software environments.

Health device gearbox assembly

SHOP4CF scope:

Collaborative assembly or gearbox
Some parts assembled by the robot – some parts assembled by the worker
AR to indicate worker instructions / tasks
Final quality checks of assembled part
Communication with MES

Robot training for bin picking

SHOP4CF scope:

Identify parts to be picked from bin
Train robot how to grasp the parts
Details TBD

Robot demonstrator

Details TBD

IMPACT

With SHOP4CF it is foreseen to generally improve the working conditions and the

adaptability of the manufacturing lines to new products or processes. For achieving these

objectives, components for: flexible human safety, human robot collaboration, workspace

design and AR/VR visualization will be used.
