Efficient and effective workspace condition analysis systems and methods are presented. In one embodiment, a method comprises: accessing information associated with an activity space, including information on a newly discovered previously unmodeled entity; analyzing the activity information, including activity information associated with the previously unmodeled entity; forwarding feedback on the results of the analysis, including analysis results for the updated modeled information; and utilizing the feedback in a coordinated path plan check process. In one exemplary implementation the coordinated path plan check process comprises: creating a solid/CAD model including updated modeled information; simulating an activity including the updated modeled information; generating a coordinated path plan for entities in the activity space; and testing the coordinated path plan. The coordinated path plan check process can be a success. The analyzing can include automatic identification of potential collision points for a first actor, including potential collision points with the newly discovered object. The newly discovered previously unmodeled entity interferes with an actor from performing an activity. The newly discovered object is a portion of a tool component of a product.

A mechanical equipment control system includes a mechanical apparatus, a load ratio detection circuit, and an integration control circuit. The mechanical apparatus includes a motor which is configured to drive the mechanical apparatus. The load ratio detection circuit is configured to detect a load ratio of the motor. The integration control circuit is configured to control the mechanical apparatus based on an operation parameter while keeping the load ratio in an allowable load state.

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.

The systems and methods provide an action recognition and analytics tool for use in manufacturing, health care services, shipping, retailing and other similar contexts. Machine learning action recognition can be utilized to determine cycles, processes, actions, sequences, objects and or the like in one or more sensor streams. The sensor streams can include, but are not limited to, one or more video sensor frames, thermal sensor frames, infrared sensor frames, and or three-dimensional depth frames. The analytics tool can provide for kitting products, including real time verification of packing or unpacking by action and image recognition.

In various embodiments, a method includes receiving one or more sensor streams with an engine. The engine identifies one or more actions that are performed at first and second stations of a plurality of stations within the sensor stream(s). The received sensor stream(s) and identified one or more actions performed at the first and second stations are stored in a data structure. The identified one or more actions are mapped to the sensor stream(s). The engine characterizes each of the identified one or more actions performed at each of the first and second stations to produce determined characterizations thereof. Based on one or more of the determined characterizations, automatically producing a recommendation, either dynamically or post-facto, to move at least one of the identified one or more actions performed at one of the stations to another station to reduce cycle time.
