Industry Status
The aircraft manufacturing industry requires a strict and complex production process, and any deviation at any stage can have significant consequences. The aircraft assembly process also takes a lot of time and involves many components, making frontline manufacturers spend a lot of time transporting raw materials.
Therefore, the aircraft assembly process is characterized by high complexity and high precision, coupled with its high-quality and low-cycle development goals, the importance of realizing the transformation of aircraft manufacturing to intelligent manufacturing is self-evident.
Solution
To meet the requirements of assembly and mass production of airplanes with low cost and high efficiency, many aircraft manufacturing companies have integrated autonomous robots, the robot control system (RCS), and other intelligent platforms and equipment to build smart and digital logistics systems in the factory. This helps aircraft manufacturers enhance the intelligence level in the production process, prepare assembly materials effectively, and increase productivity for mass production goals.
Function realization
1. Production materials “one step in place”
Timely and accurate delivery of “ammunition” is an important basis for “front-line warfare”. After the usage of mobile robots, the unified allocation of materials to each warehouse is realized. With AO as the unit, all materials are collected and then delivered to the production site. Items, sort out the list of spare parts in advance, and minimize the production preparation time of front-line personnel.
Every second counts in production. With the addition of new “comrades in arms” – mobile robots, the work scope and the work intensity of front-line personnel have been significantly reduced. There is no need to carry materials over long distances, and the required accessories will “automatically” arrive at the work station!
2. New front-line “comrades in arms” 24/7 cross-floor operations
Latent series mobile robots use vision and laser hybrid navigation, and can be switched freely. The positioning accuracy can reach the millimeter level, and it is equipped with multi- level safety protection measures to ensure the safety of man and machine. In addition, the mobile robot can be docked with the hoist/elevator to complete the automatic transfer of materials across floors, which greatly improves the efficiency of material storage operations and saves labor costs.
3. Collaborative operation, intelligent logistics system integration
Robot Control and Scheduling System RCS can realize robot path planning, cluster scheduling, task assignment, etc., and dispatch robots to work together on the optimal route according to production line requirements, and mobile robots can automatically complete storage, sorting, and ordering according to instructions. Set, out of the warehouse and production line distribution and other processes, effectively improving the efficiency of logistics distribution.
At the same time, RCS provides TPS standard interface, which can be seamlessly connected with enterprise WMS, greatly reducing the workload of WMS system development.
Program effectiveness
Improve efficiency
The mobile robot automatically manages and transports storage materials, which significantly improves the production efficiency of the production line and saves space for storing the material preparation time.
Reduce labor cost
The intelligent and efficient mobile robot performs distribution work 24/7 hours and can be docked with the hoist to achieve cross-floor operations, which has changed the previous tedious and high-intensity working methods of front-line personnel, greatly saved labor costs, and reduced the scope and intensity of work.
