Foreign object damage issued by industry 4.0

Abstract

In the field of aerospace inspection, the prevention of damage caused by foreign objects is a very serious topic, as in the past the FOD has caused a number of accidents. The FOD itself can be divided into many types but this article deals with foreign objects that are bound to components during the production process. Detection of foreign objects is one of the key tasks of inspection and is also mentioned in the international aerospace standard EN9100 / AS9100. During the experiment, the results of FOD detection were experimentally compared by visual inspection by the operator in 3 shifts and a robotic workplace with the same task. The article deals with the practical implementation and evaluation of the influence of human labour compensation on the RPN parameter used to determine the riskiness of the process according to the PFMEA methodology. The article describes the PFMEA methodology, in the experimental phase describes and analyses the inputs and outputs of the PFMEA methodology in a real environment.
