Assembly assistance for the perfect assembly guide
The DeepInspect system approach allows customers with many product variations and challenging manual assembly tasks to maintain or bring both quality and productivity to high levels. This is done by assisting the assemblers with the AI-supported software regarding the correct assembly, respectively by providing step-by-step assembly instructions.
Project partners involved
Problem:
- Manual assembly is very stressful for people. Especially in case of high product variants, as well as in case of strong monotony, technical solutions can assist human beings during assembly.
- At the same time, quality inspection is essential to meet quality standards.
- DeepInspect aims to assist the assembly of the product with the help of modern object recognition methods. Both in terms of guiding the employee interactively, as well as in terms of checking the product for correct assembly.
Solution approach:
The Four DeepInspect Steps
- Step 1: Capture and annotate images.
- Step 2: Define correct position and part type.
- Step 3: Define workflow and teach-in.
- Step 4: Apply workflow correctly using assistance system.
Components
Added value through FabOS
While the system is designed a very simple and easy-to-use web-application to the user (web frontend), the overall system consists of several modular and distributed backend services, designed in a way, that they might be reused by different applications, additionally to the DeepInspect systems as such.
The outcome w.r.t. to FabOS research and development are:
- modular system design components for image capturing, image streaming, object detection etc. provided re-usable and FabOS-compliant deployable units.
- Design and implementation of an open (FabOS compatible) interface / API for interaction with further production systems to allow an orchestration of value chains (orchestrated production lines).
