The Challenge
The need to generate additional revenue through the use of an agile manufacturing cell that was easily interchangeable to the parts/products required on short demand and in on-demand production numbers
How We Did It
- By implementing ODIN Workstation throughout the work cell stations
- Advanced vision systems with integrated machine learning capabilities in order to enable virtual devices
Final Results
- An easily adjustable work cell, comprised of several standalone stations
- Easy integration and addition of new part assemblies
- Intuitive guidance systems integrated with pick-to-light linbin systems, bolting tools, digital verniers and part placement
- Built in failsafes to ensure that new parts are correctly assembled
Other Benefits
- The incorporation of advanced vision systems that enable the addition of virtual devices, such as virtual process confirmation push-buttons
- Easy to add, update and change existing product assembly processes
- Drag and drop assembly process sequence improvements
- The agile work cell can be easily moved and repositioned wherever its use would be more practical
- The work cell, with integrated software allows for immediate process improvements and aligns with continuous improvement best practices
