Production of Part in Digital Factory with the Aid of FANUC & Laser Machine along with Quality Tracking through OEE
Imagine you are owner of your company, resting on sofa, watching TV and you receive an order of some parts to manufacture and you just take out your phone and enter the amount of parts and factory starts manufacturing it without any human help. Sounds futuristic, but no longer! That’s what we are trying to achieve through this project at state of the art Cyber Physical lab at Boston campus of Northeastern University.
Our group is currently working on manufacturing of car logos without any human intervention. The aim is to program the assembly lines, FANUC robot and laser cutting machine in such a way that whole system can be operated by just one command and we get end products ready to ship. Not only that, in order to review that product getting ready by this way, we are also going to track quality through OEE.
Methology :
> Getting in depth knowledge of PLC programming, control on FACNUC robot, Laser engraving machine and OEE.
> Literature review of relevant research papers.
> Process Planning.
> Programming of machines and FANUC robotic arm.
> Quality Tracking through OEE.
> Results analysis.
