Hannover Messe: The Mecca of High Technology

By admin May 12, 2016 4:01 pm

Highlighting some of the innovative technologies showcased at Hannover Messe 2016 which are going to explore new directions for industrial manufacturing
Agile manufacturing solution At Hannover Messe 2016, Accenture and Dassault Système unveiled a proof of concept (PoC) that shows how digital technologies can improve efficiency and create more agile manufacturing in industries such as heavy industrial equipment and aerospace.
Working with a large industrial equipment company, Accenture and Dassault Systèmes are building and implementing a three-phase solution that harnesses digital technologies to create a link between engineering and the manufacturing shop floor for non-repetitive manufacturing companies. The adaptive solution provides a new level of continuity for product assembly including the sequence in which parts are built, and provides a better level of insight into the process for engineers and the assembly staff.
The first phase of the agile manufacturing solution creates the theoretical assembly sequence required to build a product such as a train, airplane or digger. Phase two helps create, optimise and re-plan quickly an operational plan and schedule for each worker on the shop floor. The third phase creates a digital display of the schedule for each worker so they are able to refer to it. These three phases use Dassault Systèmes’ solutions.
Replacing what has often been a paper-based process, Accenture and Dassault Systèmes are creating a solution that provides a new digital link between the engineering team and the shop floor, allowing for real-time changes in the schedule. The agile manufacturing solution can also provide insight and risk assessment into any proposed changes to a product or the assembly schedule before they are made, greatly reducing down-time and creating more agile manufacturing.
6D laser measurementLeoni Protec Cable Systems GmbH unveiled a laser sensor system that works in up to six dimensions – the new ‘advintec 6D laser measurement’ calibration system grippers, fixtures and locates parts in robotic applications in-line and thereby extends the range of options for machine perception. This is particularly useful in automotive, machine and plant engineering; in aviation and in the metal-processing industry. The challenges during part unracking lie in ensuring that bodywork components are correctly picked from containers and stacks; e.g. bonnets, side and roof panels etc. This is achieved by 6D part location, meaning that both translations and rotations are taken into account during the measurement process. Integrated precision laser or ultrasonic sensors are used in the gripper. The gripping position is adjusted automatically. The system is compact, lightweight, robust and integrated directly in the gripper; it can be easily installed for part picking and retrofitted to the production line without any costly modifications.
Putting people in the spotlight of Industry 4.0With networked automation solutions and digital assistance systems, Bosch Rexroth is putting the focus on people in Industry 4.0. At Hannover Messe 2016 the company showcased solutions for intelligent integration of assembly stations in the versatile production.
From real-time evaluation of all relevant production data, to an assistant for quickly handling faults, all solutions are based on manufacturer independent standards and programming languages in the world of automation, IT, and the internet.
The modular designed and flexible adjustable assembly system ActiveAssist from Rexroth simplifies the assembly of multiple versions. It links real-world assembly working stations with the virtual world of information technology, and leads the associate through the assembly steps using freely configurable sensors and assistants.
This software solution also integrates seamlessly into the Active Cockpit, a new production information system. This interactive web based communications platform detects all relevant data of the production line, updates it in a dynamic manner, and visualises it clearly in real time, directly on the line. This link between production and company IT facilitates integrated assembly under Industry 4.0 conditions. Associates can recognise deviations in production immediately and initiate optimisation measures. The availability of all relevant data forms the basis for making appropriate decisions.
Virtual employee German company Roboyo presented its intelligent automation solutions in the “Digital factory” where the connected enterprise plays a vital role. The company introduces its Robotic Process Automation and Artificial Intelligence solutions. It demonstrates how these can drive and enable the connected enterprise such as ERP and PLM, and can perform like a virtual employee.
