Uniform Task Description

The Uniform Task Description is an application that allows the description of the product, tasks and resources through an intuitive web user interface. UTD structure allows the reuse of information for generating Augmented Reality instructions and monitoring the state of the cell form legacy systems (MES, ERP, and SCADA). Most importantly, the scheduler uses the UTD file content in order to balance the workload between human and robots, implementing ALB techniques. Specifically, the system automatically generates the suitable resources for each task, based on the resource capability models and the capability validation rules. The alternative Resource-Task configurations are evaluated using multiple criteria and the schedule, which better fulfils the desired criteria, is selected. The selected alternative signifies how each task is assigned to a specific resource and the sequence of the process.
