Cyber Physical Production System reduces assembly error in tractor production

advanced-mau--success-white

The later errors detected in assembly lines, such as in tractor production, the more costly is their elimination. Therefore, the quick and easy integration of support measures for manual assembly tasks is necessary. The project team from both Fraunhofer IPA and the tractor manufacturer digitized the manual tractor assembly so that workers can monitor the components being assembled in sequence. Thanks to this Cyber Physical Production System (CPPS), the error rate is reduced, which reduced the material waste, and the workers feel safer when gripping the parts to be assembled. This also eliminates overhead, which would be necessary in a later detection of errors to correct them. The software for processing the order data was realized by Fincons.


Technology Readiness Level: TRL 7

Impact

  • Reduce error rates and, hence, reduce material waste.
  • Workers feel safer with the sequence of parts to assemble, which enhances the efficiency of the work being done.
  • Overhead is eliminated, which would be necessary in a later detection of errors to correct them.
