Disclosed are an assembly information providing system and a module assembly including a module assembly including at least one control module including a functional unit including an assembly information management unit generating assembly information; and a user terminal and an assembly information providing server connected to the module assembly through a network and an assembly information providing method including: receiving, by the user terminal or the assembly information providing server, the assembly information from the control module; and storing, by the user terminal or the assembly information providing server, the assembly information and determining whether an assembly error of the module assembly occurs based on the assembly information and transmitting assembly error information to the module assembly, and the assembly error information includes module unique information of at least one module with an error.

Aspects of the present disclosure provide systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media that support mechanisms for generating a feasible assembly plan for a product based on data analytics. In aspects, information on components of a product is obtained from one or more product models (e.g., a three-dimensional (3D) computer aided design (CAD) model) that define the individual components of the product. The individual component information may be used to represent the assembly of the product as an assembly graph, in which each node of the assembly graph represents one of the components of the product to be assembled. The assembly graph is passed through a set of data analytics modules to generate the feasible assembly plan, or assembly sequence, as a series of sequential contact predictions, wherein each contact prediction identifies a component to be connected to one or more other components of the product.

This application discloses a computing system implementing a line balancing tool to generate a structured bill of materials for a wire harness based on a harness design and available fabrication processes. The computing system can decompose the structured bill of materials into tasks and assign the tasks to workstations in a production line configured to manufacture the wire harness. The computing system can determine dependencies between a plurality of the tasks and verify the tasks assigned to the workstation conform to the dependencies between the plurality of the tasks. The dependencies can indicate an order for performance of the operations associated with the tasks. The computing system can identify unassigned tasks capable of assignment to one or more of the workstations and determine which of the workstations the unassigned assembly tasks, if assigned, would conform with the dependencies between the plurality of the assembly tasks.

An automated line clearance inspection system will enable fast and accurate inspection of packaging equipment lines to reduce or prevent product intermixing. The system includes a set of image capturing devices that are controlled via a central processing unit whereby end run images are compared with control images to determine if a line is cleared.

Having a flexible robotic system layout that allows for the assembly of any structure creates a challenge in finding an optimal sequence of assembly. In some examples, the optimal sequence of assembly may provide the highest robot utilization, the shortest cycle time, the greatest assembly accuracy of the final assembly, or any combination thereof. The processing system disclosed herein may be configured to generate assembly sequences for a plurality of parts and determine an optimal assembly sequence from the generated assembly sequences by comparing the generated assembly sequences.

A process design device, a procedure generation device, a method of controlling a process design device, and a recording medium are provided, such that during an assembly procedure of a product, even when a special task process unique to the product, which is difficult to define in advance, is included, the process of assembling the product is designed. The process design device determines whether or not each task process in procedure data is a special process, displays the task process that has been determined to be the special process in an emphasized manner, and allows a user to decide a facility that is caused to execute the task process.

An initial customized electronic work scope is created for an individual industrial asset. The initial electronic work scope is created according to the set of rules defined in the tree-like data structure and uses the determined condition of the asset. The initial customized electronic work scope is not necessarily the same as other work scopes of other industrial assets the same asset type. The initial customized electronic work scope defines an ordered sequence for removing a plurality of individual mechanical parts of the individual asset.
