Productivity And Quality Evaluation In Assembly Using Collaborative Robots, Carlos F. Manzanares Vega
Productivity And Quality Evaluation In Assembly Using Collaborative Robots, Carlos F. Manzanares Vega
Open Access Theses & Dissertations
In Industry 4.0, various technologies have been applied to achieve automation for traditional manufacturing and practices. For this reason, Smart Manufacturing (SM) environments utilize collaborative robots for process optimization by integrating the Internet of Things (IoT). Cobots are equipped with sensors and/or other devices to be able to transmit data in real-time while performing their tasks. Consequently, such SM implementations improves the decision making and business development, such as supply chain and operations, by sharing real-time data from a plant operational level. The collaborative robots are also designed to safely interact and collaborate with humans to perform tasks and optimize …
Tram System Automation For Environmental Spectroscopy And Vegetation Monitoring, Enrique Anguiano Chavez
Tram System Automation For Environmental Spectroscopy And Vegetation Monitoring, Enrique Anguiano Chavez
Open Access Theses & Dissertations
Spectroscopy is the science of studying the interactions of matter and electromagnetic radiation (EMR). In particular, field spectroscopy takes place in a natural environment with a natural source of EMR. The paper presents progress towards the development and automation of a tram cart system. The new system in development collects high resolution, hyperspectral images and data from a spectrometer. Alternatives for a sensor cover mechanism to provide cover for the sensors mounted while the system is not operating are discussed, analyzing and comparing the benefits and disadvantages. An implementation for a charging station in an environment isolated from the electric …
