IoT-Enabled Smart Assembly Station

Abstract

Currently, typical challenges that assembly stations are facing are the lack of real-time, accurate, and consistent information of manufacturing resources on assembly stations, and the lack of an overall solution to track, trace, share the real-time manufacturing information among manufacturing system layer, workshop-floor layer, and machine layer. As a result, it is difficult to conduct the assembly operations based on the current assembly status, and results in assembly exceptions. To achieve IoT-enabled smart assembly station, the overall architecture of real-time information-driven navigation of smart assembly station is designed by adopting RFID technology. Under this architecture, four ...
