The present disclosure provides a prompt method and system for building a modular apparatus. The method comprises: S1: obtaining configuration information of a target modular apparatus which comprises M unit-modules connected to each other by a docking part; S2: obtaining configuration information of a currently constructed entity which comprises N unit-modules connected to each other by a docking part, N being less than M; S3: calculating at least a position of the docking part where the (N+1).sup.th unit-module should be connected to the constructed entity; and S4: sending out prompt information according to at least the position of the docking part where the (N+1).sup.th unit-module should be connected to the constructed entity calculated in step S3, so as to prompt at least the position of the docking part where the (N+1).sup.th unit-module should be connected.

A system for outputting a work instruction, in which an image processing device that takes a picture of a photographic subject is connected to an output device is disclosed. The system includes an imaging unit that generates image data showing the picture of the photographic subject; an obtaining unit that obtains determination data used for determining whether a work process performed on the photographic subject is completed; an input unit that inputs reference material data indicating reference materials used for reference in the work process; a determination unit that determines whether the work process performed on the photographic subject is completed, the determination being made depending on whether the photographic subject in the image data is in a state indicated by the determination data; and an output unit that outputs, to the output device, reference material data for a work process specified in accordance with the determination.

A method for operating a monitoring unit (100), configured to monitor a manipulation of at least one object (40, 45) by a user, the method comprising: —receiving, via a cellular network (60), actual user position data comprising an actual position of at least one portion of user used to manipulate the at least one object, and actual object position data comprising an actual position of the at least one object, —matching the actual user position data to predefined user position data provided at the monitoring unit (100), the predefined user position data indicating a correct position of the at least one portion of the user for manipulating the at least one object, and matching the actual object position data to predefined object position data provided at the monitoring unit, the predefined object position data indicating a correct position of the at least one object, —determining, based on the matching, whether the manipulation of the at least one object by the at least one portion of the user is correct or not.

End users subscribe to use information handling systems having a selected of available performance characteristics defined by a keyboard and touchpad configuration selected to build the information handling systems. A manufacturer meets subscriptions with information handling systems built from an inventory of new keyboards, deployed keyboards of information handling system in use by subscribers, and separated keyboards taken from returned information handling systems and re-used. End user subscriptions are met in part by building replacement information handling systems with separated keyboards having a useful life remaining that aligns with end user keyboard usage patterns tracked over time, benchmarked performance metrics and end user subscription performance characteristics.

Aspects of the disclosed technology provide an Artificial Intelligence Process Control (AIPC) for automatically detecting errors in a manufacturing workflow of an assembly line process, and performing error mitigation through the update of instructions or guidance given to assembly operators at various stations. In some implementations, the disclosed technology utilizes one or more machine-learning models to perform error detection and/or propagate instructions/assembly modifications necessary to rectify detected errors or to improve the product of manufacture.

There is provided an apparatus which can improve user-friendliness of a description screen for assembly of parts in creation of a robot. The apparatus performs display control to separately display a plurality of parts for creation of a robot, display a line connecting joint surfaces of the respective parts, and display animation in which the respective parts are jointed in accordance with the line connecting the joint surfaces in assembly order.

A programmable device (D) arranged in a production environment, to assist an operator (O) in performing manual assembly operations carried out by the operator (O), particularly during assembly operations performed on pieces (P) transported by pallets (5) in a production line (1). The device (D) comprises an assembly means usable by the operator (O), a lighting device (4) for lighting a work area in which the operator (O) works, a sensor (6) configured to detect the position of the assembly means, an input device (10) usable by the operator, and an electronic control system (8) configured to memorize a learning sequence including a sequence of manual assembly operations.

A worker guidance system for guiding a worker when carrying out a process using a process system. The process system includes at least one process device having process device capabilities, the process including at least one work step, including a control unit and a communication device. The control unit is designed to activate the communication device based on process data to communicate to the worker the work step to be carried out. The control unit is provided with the process device capabilities as process device capability data, the process data including the process device capability data.

The information projection system includes stereo cameras, a controller, and projectors. The controller has a communication device, an analysis unit, a registration unit, and a projection control unit. The communication device acquires sets of appearance information in which each stereo camera detects an appearance of a workplace. The analysis unit analyzes the sets of appearance information, and creates a map information indicating shapes and positions of objects existing in the workplace. The registration unit creates and registers a work status information based on the map information that is individually created from the sets of appearance information respectively detected by the plurality of stereo cameras. The projection control unit creates an auxiliary image for assisting a work based on the work status information, and outputs the auxiliary image to each projector.
