Organizations that seek long-term success no longer depend on just one product but rather a platform of products that target key markets. Time-to-market pressures and globally distributed engineering design environments demand support through life-cycle models, particularly in the early stages of product development, for an effective product platform. Product definition and structured processes such as gate models are necessary in platform design for organizations to focus their effort on developing families of products that share common components and technology. This paper discusses conventions and research directions in different industries, describes methods in use, and explains a roadmap for product platform development. Case studies of laser printer, industrial robot, and AC motor drive controller platform development further explore challenges in platform design and the role of gate models. The paper concludes with gate model lessons and proposed work to further this research including decision analytic and system approaches.

Industrial robot work optimization has been extensively studied. The main reason for analysis is the growing number of robots implemented in the different manufacturing processes. In order to benefit from the implementation of industrial robots, each implementation process ought to be preceded by an in-depth analysis of the stand work. Often the integrator’s intuition is the only base for decisions. This work focuses on the need for individualized scheduling and analysis of robotic production tasks in the context of overall production scheduling. The method of alternative schedules analysis was presented. The paper presents a scheduling process for an industrial robot in the process of robot welding of thin-walled steel sheet structures under constraints caused by the process technology. The proposed method allowed to reduce the assumed time criterion at the level of 5.4% for one detail. The obtained value of technological operation time reduction resulted in increased time savings throughout the entire production process.

The Impact

The gripper is the most important part in an industrial robot. It is related with the environment around the robot. Today, the industrial robot grippers have to be tuned and custom made for each application by engineers, by searching to get the desired repeatability and behaviour. Vacuum suction is one of the grippers in Watch Case Press Production (WCPP) and a mechanism to improve the efficiency of the manufacturing procedure. Pick and place are the important process for the annealing process. Thus, by implementing vacuum suction gripper, the process of pick and place can be improved. The purpose of vacuum gripper other than design vacuum suction mechanism is to compare the effectiveness of vacuum suction gripper with the conventional pick and place gripper. Vacuum suction gripper is a mechanism to transport part and which later sequencing, eliminating and reducing the activities required to complete the process. Throughout this study, the process pick and place became more effective, the impact on the production of annealing process is faster. The vacuum suction gripper can pick all part at the production which will lower the loss of the productivity. In conclusion, vacuum suction gripper reduces the cycle time about 20%. Vacuum suction gripper can help lower the cycle time of a machine and allow more frequent process in order to increase the production flexibility.
