Battery Assembly Execution System

Abstract

With the increased popularity of manufacturing execution systems, there is an urgent need for such a system which connects the relevant robot and enterprise resource planning system. This project uses this system in order to complete the assembly and picking up of batteries in factories. The main work is divided into five modules. The first module is concerned with the enterprise resource planning system, Odoo, which is used to acquire several manufacturing orders and handle them. Then, three modules related to the different robots execute their tasks after receiving the order. In the ABB robot’s program, the order information is assigned. After the ABB robot finishes the mission, the mobile robot delivers the assembled battery module. The CMMO controller is responsible for picking up the battery module. While the mobile robot moves in the working range, the manufacturing order status is set as done. The final module relates to strategy. Based on the original module organizational design, two creative features are proposed and researched under the supervisor’s guidance. In the future, they could help optimize the application. This project was completed using Java on a PC equipped with Windows 10. The following software packages support this project: Odoo, RobotStudio, MobilePlanner, MobileEyes and Festo configuration tool. In all, this project is designed for factory use and improving operator efficiency.
