Title: | Zero waste manufacturing in collaboration with Leax |
Subject: | Produktutveckling, Produktion, Industrial Systems, Applied Artificial Intelligence |
Level: | Advanced |
Description: |
Problem description: Major problem with chip accumulation, leading to potential disruptions in subsequent operations or entanglement in the conveyor system, affecting production efficiency.
Overall objective: Implement an image recognition system to detect chip tangles on products and promptly alert operators to prevent production disturbances.
Reseach questions: -What hardware and software components are required to effectively implement image recognition for detecting chip tangles? -How can we ensure the accuracy and reliability of the detection system under different operational conditions.
Evaluation metrics: -Accuracy and success rate of the image recognition system in identifying chip tangles. -Response time between detection and operator notification. -Reduction in production downtime due to chip jamming.
Envisaged solution: Install a camera connected to a Raspberry Pi or Arduino within the machine cell to monitor parts exiting the turning machine. The system will automatically detect unwanted chop tangles and send real-time alerts to operators for immediate action. |
