RFID Positioning System – Use of multiple RFID receivers within the cell would allow for 3D location tracking of the parts to be assembled in the system, ensuring parts are correctly present and in the right locations before proceeding.
User interfaces were designed in WinCC
Nikon K-CMM Metrology - By positioning LEDs on the robot end effector, and on the target parts, the K-CMM system can measure relative positioning to a very high degree of accuracy even over large distances.
Siemens TIA Portal, WinCC, PLCs – The lower level control of resources in the system was performed with Siemens brand programmable logic controllers
Nikon Adaptive Robotic Control (ARC) – this technology allows data from metrology systems to correct a robot controller’s coordinate system and compensate for inaccuracies and variability.
KUKA Robotics – Compatible with the ARC system, the KUKA robots were used for part positioning.
Siemens Totally Integrated Automation Portal (TIA Portal)
Grafana – Used for the creation of bespoke data visualisation solutions.
Python / Tensorflow / Pytorch – Used for the creation of bespoke machine learning algorithms and analysis processes.
Siemens Teamcenter, Process Simulate, PLCSIM Advanced, NX – The virtual commissioning system is based on Siemens’ suite of software solutions. This selection was based on the capabilities of the software itself, and on the use of Siemens hardware for the control of the demonstrator.
BOOST 4.0 | Big Data Value Spaces for COmpetitiveness of European COnnected Smart FacTories 4.0
