Geodetic Concepts for Collision Avoidance Along Industrial Transport and Assembly Lines
نویسندگان
چکیده
Complex and time-critical process chains in industrial production of premium automobiles demand a sophisticated supply chain management and logistics as well as safe and reliable transport systems. Inside a vast factory individual parts (e.g. engines) cover large distances by using electric monorail suspension conveyers. In such an environment, the avoidance of any collision of units with the surrounding area or flexible tools becomes a must. Last minute changes in the product’s design demand a simulation tool to compute dynamic interference checking and to visualize risk zones where problems might occur.

Flexible Manufacturing System Based on the Kamara Concepts
A new approach of using multi-agent and robot systems in terms of transport and logistics in industrial environments is defined. The robot system based on KAMARA principles described in the paper „The Distributed Control Architecture KAMARA“ of this book. A theoretic-based strategy for agent modelling is used to determine the information that is necessary for collision avoidance in the two-arm ...

In this paper, an analytical approach is used for assembly line rebalancing and worker assignment for single and mixed-model assembly lines based on a heuristic-simulation algorithm. This approach helps to managers to select a better marketing strategy when different combinations of demands are suitable.Furthermore, they can use it as a guideline to know which worker assignment is better for ea...
متن کاملScheduling of Multiple Autonomous Guided Vehicles for an Assembly Line Using Minimum Cost Network Flow
This paper proposed a parallel automated assembly line system to produce multiple products having multiple autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs). Several assembly lines are configured to produce multiple products in which the technologies of machines are shared among the assembly lines when required. The transportation between the stations in an assembly line (intra assembly line) and among station...
متن کاملAutomatic collision detection and avoidance in a peg-in-hole process with ToF sensor
Industrial robot based production and assembly automation increases the throughput of a company but on the other hand enhances the need for robot intelligence in terms of decision making in collisions scenarios. A robot manipulator, working at the industrial facility, should be able to predict potential collisions and automatically prevent them with a safe detour around the obstacle/human. Indu...
متن کامل‘BALANCING AND SEQUENCING’ VERSUS ‘ONLY BALANCING’ IN MIXED MODEL U-LINE ASSEMBLY SYSTEMS: AN ECONOMIC ANALYSIS
With the growth in customers’ demand diversification, mixed-model U-lines (MMUL) have acquired increasing importance in the area of assembly systems. There are generally two different approaches in the literature for balancing such systems. Some researchers believe that since the types of models can be very diverse, a balancing approach without simultaneously sequencing of models will not yield...
