Control architecture for a supervised industrial robotic workcell integration

Abstract

An integration procedure is essential for the development of modern industry allowing the improvement of manufacturing process. This paper describes the implementation of a workcell integration procedure for a recovered robot manipulator with the development of multiple tasks programming. The adopted methodology is based on the definition of a control architecture incorporating a supervision system. The interoperability between this system and the controller devices is guaranteed by using wireless communication network. This methodology was applied to the manufactured of automotive compressors and has lead to improved manufacturing parameters.
