Cognitive assembly assistance systems are known for being able to solve complex tasks in accordance with the given situation. To do so, sensors supply the relevant ambient data for the solution which is combined with the stored knowledge of the assistance system in order to determine the current situation and define an optimum approach.
ognitive assistance systems are used in assembly in order to direct employees in production and check in real time that working steps are carried out correctly. In this field RK Rose+Krieger counts on the sophisticated and tried-and-tested assistance system. For this purpose, this cognitive system uses camera images, industrial image processing algorithms and artificial intelligence. The camera images captured in real time at the workstation are analysed by the assistance system continuously and combined digitally with the stored specialist knowledge.
The assistance system uses the data and results from this cognitive process to generate guidelines for the employee which are tailored to the situation. When the assembly step is completed correctly, the system triggers the next stop and provides new guidelines. However, if an error occurs in assembly, it is immediately indicated with the corresponding notices.
A further considerable benefit is that the use of this kind of cognitive assistance system makes it possible to control production paper-free. The image and analysis data which is nevertheless available can be stored by the assistance system for documentation purposes, for example.
In the incoming and outgoing goods departments, a chamber-based assistance system supports employees by automatically optically identifying (auto-ID) items that are difficult to distinguish. Another area of application for the assistance system is the automatic optical inspection (AOI) of products in the incoming goods inspection, outgoing goods inspection and final inspection on the production line.
Our product specialists are of course on hand to help you when it comes to detailed issues, and we develop the perfectly tailored solution for your processes together with you.
