Task-oriented programming of processing plants
Portfolio: Automation, Digitalization
Industries: Plant Engineering and Machine Tool Industry, Electronics
CHALLENGE
Project to research the methodological foundations for developing an adaptable, task-oriented programming system for discrete manufacturing
- Automated generation of the digital description of a plant and its components
- Further development and integration of existing models for digital process and product description
- Design of an adaptable planning module that converts the task to executable code
IMPLEMENTATION
- Development of methods for simplifying the configuration of machines and plants
- A control system project is automatically generated, starting with the interpretation of the specification of a quantity structure of the digital task
- Virtual commissioning for the purpose of qualifying the software before the actual machine is available
- Upstream controller test to detect risks before the plant is implemented
CUSTOMER BENEFIT
- More flexible use of plants
- Reduction of development and commissioning times
- Increase in quality and productivity without interrupting ongoing production
- Reduction of risks when designing machines and plants
