The use-case addresses the manufacturing of women lingerie, with the manipulation of fine textile parts during critical process steps, the thermoforming process. SELMARK will make its thermoforming process area available for the installation of the MERGING technology solution on site, and its evaluation in near-real industrial conditions. CEA, LMS and AIMEN, helped by CASP and OPTEAMUM, will elaborate the robotic system installation layout and assist SELMARK in the implementation of the robot and gripper in their premises. OMNIGRASP will provide support for the implementation and running of the robot gripper in the production environment, and (if necessary) will perform some adjustments of the robot gripper to the object shape/size and specifications. CASP will fine tune the control and communication software of the robot to the specificities of SELMARK use-case. EPFL will adapt the electro-adhesive gripping device parameters to suit the textile manipulation in the lingerie manufacturing environment. IPC will analyze the gripper / textile interaction and provide support to the products quality analysis.
