SmartSpace Assembly - Real-Time Control and Visibility of Assembly Lines
Gain real-time control and visibility of on-line assembly processes with a Ubisense solution that integrates with existing MES and line-side control systems.
- Increase ergonomics and error proof tasks by controlling the operation of cordless assembly tools so the right settings are used for the right products. Every time.
- Eliminate paintwork marring by switching to fully wireless assembly tools and equipment.
- Ensure the correct tightening sequence of critical fasteners and create a digital audit of completion.
- Create variable length workstations to assemble multiple product variants on the same physical line.
- Allow intelligent work-ahead and catch-up of overrunning tasks to avoid unnecessary line stops.
- Create overlapping workstations to increase line density and maximise the utilization of physical space.
Increasingly manufacturers are using wireless assembly devices to reduce the safety and quality limitations of mechanically tethered tools, such as cables causing trip hazards and marring paint or finishes on products.
Ubisense controls the operation of wireless tools by creating a digital tether between the device and workstation.
- Control wireless tool operation in workstations without tethers
- Easily add new wireless tools without additional infrastructure
Ubisense ultra-wideband sensors and the ART Verpose® vision system can locate assembly tools to within millimeters, enabling bolt-level accuracy. By precisely tracking tool position and orientation, assembly devices can distinguish between adjacent fasteners to ensure the correct tightening sequence is followed for critical operations.
- Control tightening sequence and torque settings
- Automatic digital audit of completed fasteners
- Configure multiple tool zones on the same product
- Enable multiple tightening sequences on the same line
- Corrects for poor lighting and recessed fastenings
The same location technology for wireless tool operation can also track products on the assembly line, enabling automatic identification of individual product variants and matching to the correct tool operation.
- Switch from mechanical to software process triggers; add multiple and variable triggers at no extra cost
- Eliminate wasted time from manual product identification on the assembly line
- Increase quality and error proof tasks by controlling the activation and settings of wireless tools
Completely remove the constraints of fixed TAKT workstations by defining infinitely variable and dynamic work zones in software.
Produce multiple product variations on the same line, eliminate idle time waiting for the next product, and complete overrunning tasks without the risk of line stoppages.
- Variable length workstations on the same physical line based on product variant
- Introduce new product lines without expensive line reconfiguration
- Temporarily extend workstations to complete overrunning tasks or allow work ahead on the next product
- Create partially overlapping workstations to maximize the use of space
- Allow online re-work that is controlled and tracked
