Industry 4.0 Robotics

We treat Industry 4.0 as a workable engineering project: data is collected from every point of the line, evaluated with machine vision and AI, and fed back to robots and machines as work orders. The transformation is planned in stages; existing machines and conveyors stay in place while cameras, robots and software are added step by step.

We develop the line software, operator interface and PLC–robot communication tailor-made for each customer's line. We set up the data flow between PLCs, robot controllers and higher-level systems over TCP/IP, UDP and PLC protocols, making every product traceable down to its serial number.

An example from the field: on a panel radiator line we built, each product's type is identified from its barcode, a camera finds the radiator the robot will pick using deep learning, and the work is balanced across three robots; pallet fill levels and production counts are monitored live on the operator screen.
