The migration of industrial automation systems (IASs) to an edge-cloud hosted on factory premises can reduce the operation costs of a manufacturing line and increase its flexibility thanks to computation scalability and use of cloud-native operation concepts. However, the unclear assessment of costs of an edge-cloud automation system (ECAS) is a significant concern for manufacturing experts, which disincentives its adoption. An ECAS is expected to generate different costs than a traditional IAS, which depends on the requirements of the automation functions hosted in the edge-cloud. Because of this, methods to evaluate various realization concepts of an ECAS concerning their economic viability are required to support its engineering. In this paper, we provide a methodology that helps practitioners to define design specifications for an ECAS and assess their life-cycle costs (LCCs). To provide a robust and transparent LCCs assessment, we leverage the Monte Carlo method, which is a well-affirmed technique to address costs uncertainties. To do so, a cost model has been developed and implemented in a discrete-event simulator to calculate upfront and running costs of an ECAS. The application of the methodology is shown through an exemplar case study and its results are discussed. The presented work helps practitioners to evaluate whether an ECAS is economically viable for a manufacturing scenario, thus increasing the acceptance for this technology and fostering the transition towards flexible and smart manufacturing systems.

Low-code development is a software-development paradigm that can reduce the conceptual gap between application domain problem expertise and software engineering solution expertise. Hence, it might be a vital means to reduce the impact of the world-wide scarcity of software-developers. Consequently, many different low-code development platforms (LCDPs) have surfaced in the last 5–10 years, which domain experts must understand to chose the best-possible LCDP for their applications. This choice is not made restricting to front-end features of these LCDPs, but also to back-end features, which the domain experts are usually less familiar with. To support domain experts in making this decision, we have investigated popular LCDPs for features relevant to domain experts. Our findings aim to guide these domain experts, but also researchers in better understanding the landscape of LCDPs.

The life cycle model of machines as idealistic subsequent phases is often used to analyze industrial automation systems. Depending on their focus, literature holds a number of different state of the art approaches for the machine life cycle with various phases. However, the consideration is mainly from the perspective of machine manufacturers. Often, the life cycle of the product, that is manufactured with the corresponding machine or the life cycle of the components installed in the machine are thoroughly considered. The development, production and operation of these assets can also be divided into corresponding phases. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of existing approaches of machine life cycles based on a structured literature review. This will also address the differences in the life cycle phases for the typical stakeholders of the industrial value chain. Since the life cycles of the individual stakeholders of the industrial value chain are coupled, a chronological classification of the individual life cycle models based on the product creation process is presented one above the other. © 2023 The Authors.

Procedia CIRP 2023年 120卷 81-86页

The present paper studies the automated optimization of reconfigurable robot cells to support engineering planning activities. The specific type of reconfigurable robot cells under investigation allows an arbitrary arrangement of functional machine modules on a base plane accessible to the robotic manipulators. The research is motivated by the fast-growing configuration space of reconfigurable robot cells which results from the configurability of the cell layout and the performed workflows. Searching for optimized configurations within this configuration space is an iterative procedure which currently requires lots of manual efforts and expert assessment skills for each iteration. Performing many optimization iterations requires much time, which typically results in only a few performable iterations and thus in suboptimal configurations. To compensate for this, automated support for the underlying planning problem is required. The specific planning problem under investigation concerns finding motion-time optimized layout configurations for fixed workflows. This planning problem was chosen because of its strong association with the productivity of robot cells and the fact that it is the basis for further considerations on the influences of performed workflows. The main contribution of the research is a guideline concerning the decomposition of the mentioned optimization problem. This decomposition concerns the specific formulation of the optimization problem as well as its solving principle. The approach of the paper is to compare combinations of single- and multi-objective problem formulations as well as single- and multi-step solving procedures. Respective variants of evolutionary and conventional algorithms are tested for solving the optimization problems. The experiments are conducted using a specifically developed simulation and optimization framework which supports layout reconfiguration, robot path planning, and time parametrization based on state-of-the-art m

The paper concerns the automated generation of optimized machine assembly procedures for reconfigurable robot cells (RRCs). RRCs are built from individual modules resulting in many possible structural configurations. For the optimization of production performance, assembly procedures must be generated to estimate objectives like productivity or cycle time. However, generating machine procedures is currently subject to manual planning and optimization which requires considerable time and effort. This leads to the investigation of few configuration concepts and thus poor optimization. The main contribution is a simulation-based approach to generate assembly procedures for RRCs. The approach solves the combinatorial problems of robot task assignment and assembly process sequencing jointly. The generation process minimizes the procedure duration by exploiting temporal concurrency while ensuring the geometrical feasibility of the individual robot motions. The paper further presents experimental results from a conducted case study with different RRC configuration concepts, robot synchronization and batch processing modes. The results reveal that significant production speedups can be achieved.

Robot machining of thin-walled workpieces with automatically reconfigurable fixturing through feature analysis

Procedia CIRP 2023年 120卷 1065-1070页

Machining of large scale thin-walled workpieces pose high requirements for fixturing because of large stiffness changes due to material removal. Automatically reconfigurable fixtures that allow in-process reconfiguration are a promising approach. In this paper, an efficient approach based on feature analysis is proposed for fixture reconfiguration planning. For this, material removal is simulated. At discrete points in time, feature analysis is performed and an approximated local stiffness map is calculated with weight functions derived from the features’ parameterizations. Viable fixture configurations are then identified through root finding and validated through simulation in Ansys and experimentally with a fixture jig. In both validations, workpiece deformation for drilling operations could be reduced to an acceptable level enabling the implementation's future use in industrial application.

In the manufacturing industry, the digital twin (DT) is becoming a central topic. It has the potential to enhance the efficiency of manufacturing machines and reduce the frequency of errors. In order to fulfill its purpose, a DT must be an exact enough replica of its corresponding physical object. Nevertheless, the physical object endures a lifelong process of degradation. As a result, the digital twin must be modified accordingly in order to satisfy the accuracy requirement. This article introduces the novel concept of"learning digital twin (LDT)," which concentrates on the temporal behavior of the physical object and highlights the digital twin’s capacity for lifelong learning. The structure of a LDT is first described. Then, in-depth descriptions of various algorithms for implementing each component of a LDT are provided. The proposed LDT is validated on the simulated degradation process of an anisotropic non-ideal rotor system. © 2024, CC BY-NC-ND.

This paper presents an efficient and industry-ready system architecture that enables both the control of machining operations and the high-frequency acquisition of controller data and external sensor signals. Using the recorded data, a dexel-based mechanistic cutting force model, which enables the estimation of cutting forces for complex tool geometries in arbitrary machining operations, is parameterized via an instantaneous cutting force identification method. In the introduced identification method, Bayesian Optimization and Dynamic Time Warping are combined to avoid time-consuming and error-prone synchronization of measurement and simulation. The suitability of this approach was demonstrated by performing cutting experiments at various radial depths of cut and feed rates per tooth. Thereby, a good agreement between simulation and measurement could be observed.

State Derivative Normalization for Continuous-Time Deep Neural Networks

arXiv 2024年

The importance of proper data normalization for deep neural networks is well known. However, in continuous-time state-space model estimation, it has been observed that improper normalization of either the hidden state or hidden state derivative of the model estimate, or even of the time interval can lead to numerical and optimization challenges with deep learning based methods. This results in a reduced model quality. In this contribution, we show that these three normalization tasks are inherently coupled. Due to the existence of this coupling, we propose a solution to all three normalization challenges by introducing a normalization constant at the state derivative level. We show that the appropriate choice of the normalization constant is related to the dynamics of the to-be-identified system and we derive multiple methods of obtaining an effective normalization constant. We compare and discuss all the normalization strategies on a benchmark problem based on experimental data from a cascaded tanks system and compare our results with other methods of the identification literature. © 2024, CC BY-SA.

Due to increasing economic competition, many companies are automating their production processes by means of handling systems. One very important component of any handling system is the end-effector, as it comes into direct contact with the handling object. Therefore, selecting and designing the best end-effector is of enormous importance for the safe and successful operation of handling systems. This paper presents a concept of a process for the systematic selection and design of end-effectors. The concept presented here exemplified for vacuum suction grippers. A first implementation showed the feasibility of the concept.
