Project introduction:
A start-up enterprise in Germany provides industrial 4.0 standard solutions for manufacturing fields of different scales and industries. Its core mode is to cooperate with global partners to deliver a ready-to-use system integrating software and hardware to help enterprises quickly realize digital and intelligent upgrading of production.
The company has developed an innovative solution, which is specially designed for high-precision three-dimensional positioning of objects in production and logistics environment. Only one smart phone, one application and two-dimensional code are needed to achieve millimeter-scale accurate positioning of parts, tools or assets.
The system uses the image analysis supported by artificial intelligence, directly identifies the spatial position of the marked object through the camera of the smart phone, and calculates its precise coordinates indoors. Therefore, the high-precision three-dimensional positioning of objects can be carried out in the production workshop or storage area without additional sensor infrastructure or expensive special hardware.
Different from the traditional positioning system, this technology does not need to adopt radio technologies such as UWB, RFID or BLE beacon. This makes it easy to install, cost-effective, and flexible to expand.
Typical application areas include:
● Tracking of parts and workpieces
● Positioning of tools and production resources
● Auxiliary of assembly and picking process.
● Navigation and process support in the production process
● Digital record of manufacturing process
With this technology, enterprises can obtain a high-precision and cost-effective positioning solution in smart factories.
