Smart Factories

The "Industry 4.0" initiative describes the implementation of so-called smart factories, which includes intelligent
interaction between human beings and machinery. It involves the integration of intelligent workpieces,
manufacturing equipment and flexible value-adding procedures into the production process. This seeks to
achieve distributed production with a maximum of flexibility at a minimum of cost. In a smart factory, systems
keep people informed about production and status and provide assistance with the control and monitoring of the
process.

A smart factory is characterised by the communication between products and the machinery which makes them.
The product retains information about its own manufacture in machine-readable form, on an RFID chip for
example. With the help of this data, the passage of the product through the manufacturing system and the
individual steps in its manufacture can be controlled.

The available sets are aimed at various levels:

Smart factory foundation set: This encompasses all the topics needed to understand and implement a
smart factory.
Bus systems play a key role in the communication aspect. Aspects such as cyber-physical
systems (CPS) or flexibility of plant only become possible when bus systems are employed.
RFID can be seen as being at the core of production in a smart factory. An RFID chip is used to
process the requisite data so that the items being worked upon have their own memory. They
‘know’ when the process begins how they are supposed to look at the end of it and they
themselves take control of the processing stations to ensure that they are processed in the right
way.
The knowledge learned so far is put to use in a small, initial smart factory application. A
compact station is used to cover the topic.
Smart factory basic set: The basic set encompasses a complete production line on which production of
a workpiece is controlled with the help of RFID tags. A three-part workpiece can be assembled in eight
different combinations.
Smart factory extension sets: Should a manufacturing plant be controlled and monitored solely from its
own control centre or can that also be handled remotely by means of a smart phone, tablet or laptop?
Should production be treated in a more intelligent way?
A production list with memory for up to eight products.
A variable productions sequence which depends on the raw materials available.
Statistical monitoring and fault analysis

These capabilities are provided by extension packages with various levels of expansion.

CSF 1 Industry 4.0 with IMS

CSF 1 Industry 4.0 with IMS

The Industry 4.0 system can be used for fully automated manufacture of three-part workpieces for up to eight
different end products. A touch panel allows you to select a graphic of the desired workpiece assembly. This is
saved on an RFID tag attached to the workpiece carrier when production is authorised.

The workpiece carrier instructs the processing stations how the workpieces are to be combined and assembled.
It is possible to program eight different workpieces in this way. After production is complete, the end product is
removed from the mouth of the machine and can then be prepared for dispatch.

Since the stations are fully networked via PROFIBUS and PROFINET, it is possible to monitor the functionality
on a permanent basis and to carry out diagnosis.

Transport system: Dual-belt conveyors with variable speed DC drive motors

Identification system: An RFID identification system transmits the desired assembly procedure for the
workpieces to the processing stations
Control level: Configuration of manufacturing jobs from a governing PC, process visualisation and
acquisition of operating data
Transmission of process control data via TCP/IP
Networking via PROFIBUS and PROFINET

IMS furniture

IMS furniture

The IMS furniture system is used together with the Industrial Mechatronics System. The mobile trolleys can be
used for individual components or sub-systems. In order to build complex, mechatronics systems, the trolleys
can be lined up alongside one another and can be supplemented by frames to accommodate training panels. A
power console allows the trolley to be equipped with a wide variety of 3 HU modules. The trolleys can be
extended by means of various add-ons attachable to the aluminium rails to make up a multi-function PC
experiment trolley.
