Description of center’s mission and objectives

The SMART FACTORY DEMO CENTER (DC1) is used for different activities: Pedagogical work (education of students in the field of production engineering) Development/research work in key areas covered by the laboratory (smart factory concepts and architecture, distributed systems, edge computing and 5G technology, digitalization of production systems and processes, Education, development/research work, workshops and trainings for companies (test before invest, demonstration of key technologies, skills and competences gain). It is developed and built according to the principles of Industry 4.0 (I 4.0) and provides the possibilities for basic and applied research of all key technologies I 4.0 and logistics.

Description of center’s facilities and equipment

The SMART FACTORY DEMO CENTER features a modern, self-configurable production line, industrial and collaborative robots, an automated smart rack warehouse, machine vision systems, RFID, edge computing devices, and a smart, self-adaptive, and self-configurable manual assembly cell with the LPM (LASIM Production Management) system, supported by visualization, etc. Several technologies and approaches can be demonstrated and tested, such as connectivity, communication and data transfers between distributed production nodes, 5G in terms of BIG Data transfer and reliability (data capturing, processing, and transferring in real-time ), digital twins of processes, and digital agents (AI) integrated at different levels (global, local, etc.), distributed production control, and VR and AR in assembly.

1.Assembly production line, controlled by Beckhoff controller, with 6 automatic assembly stations (RPI for EDGE, NFC for ID, LAN/WiFi for OPC UA) with integrated local intelligent. 2.Automated warehouse of base parts and finished products (RPI for EDGE, NFC for ID, LAN/WiFi for OPC UA). 3.2x industrial robot MOTOAN HP6 and P20 with several tool changers. 4.RFID tracking system integrated in assembly production line. 5.1x collaborative robot Franka Emika. 6.Smart assembly station (RPI for EDGE, NFC for ID, LAN/WiFi for OPC UA) and LPM software for worker guiding. 7.3x Machine vision system (safety, quality control, stock/warehouse part detection). 8.PC with Digital Twin platform. 9.VR glasses (Digital Twin in VR for customers that need better visualization of planned on current production line). 10.AR glasses (mainly used for digital instruction visualization for guiding the workers in manual assembly processes). 11.Siemens Plant Simulation software – development of 2D and 3D models of the production lines and factories in order to simulate and optimize production process, material flow and logistics. 12.Thinksboard (HMI development, visualzitazion) 13.HPC – to execute calculations in real time.
