Modern Robot Integrated Manufacturing Cell According to the Needs of Industry 4.0

Abstract

The continuous need to develop Industry 4.0 branches has led to a position, where highly sophisticated and multi-layer smart robotic systems are conducting the way in future manufacturing. This study aims to build a connectivity and system intelligent layer on top of a Co-bot integrated CNC-based Manufacturing cell. The connectivity layer is used to bypass all the data from machines to the upper intelligent layer vice versa. When raw data is arriving in the intelligent layer it is converted to information and again to knowledge for reflection back to the cell. Machine to Machine Communication and Digital Twin process for optimization is used for data conversions. This study is a down-scale example of the CPS for further development of existing robot cells.
