FRAME
Fast Ramp-Up and Adaptive Manufacturing Environment
FRAME YouTube channel coming soon!
Come back in early December 2011.
Vision
FRAME aims to create a new solution for highly adaptive, self-aware assembly systems, which will use automated self-learning, dynamic knowledge sharing, highly integrated sensor networks and innovative human-machine interaction mechanisms. These next generation assembly systems equipped with FRAME technology will be able to proactively support ramp-up, error recovery and operational performance improvement. This will lead to a dramatic cost and time reduction of deploying and maintaining complex assembly systems on demand and improve their effectiveness.
Benefits
1 Developing new methods to achieve self-aware assembly systems.
2 Developing methods for human-centred automated ramp-up, system optimisation and adaptation.
3 Developing new ways to re-use ramp-up strategies and experience in a self-learning production environment.
Approach
Read more about approach4 Supporting the step-change from purely human-driven ramp-up and system integration to proactive self-adaptive human-machine environments.
5 Integrating and enhancing state-of-the-art machines and production systems with sensor capabilities and metrology as a basis for real-time system awareness.
6 Developing behaviour models at station and system levels enhancing Self-Awareness.
