Célula flexível de manufatura: Projeto de desenvolvimento de uma célula flexível de manufatura

Abstract

Flexible manufacturing systems represent one of the focuses of Industry 4.0. The Bottom-Up strategy processes, in a distributed manner, are increasingly adapted to ensure flexibility and responsive to market demands. This new manufacturing focus spans intelligent and efficient workstations and assembly lines, transport elements by computerized control, supervisory systems that act in real time, interacting with the production plant, generating an integrated production environment. This paper presents the project for the design of a Manufacturing Automation Planning Lab (MAPL), which was used to assemble three possible pieces. The main components of this type of cell will be discussed, the existing solutions for the movement of pieces, assembly, control, structure, instrumentation, and integrated circuits. The products will be tracked and controlled through RFID tags, this tool enable products produced by the Cell to have production’s flow information, as well as product information (e.g. assembly time, lines and elements used on manufacturing).
