Industrial Projection Guidance

Innovation driver in dynamic video and laser projection

Dynamic video and laser projection show their strengths in various industrial areas – especially where manual processes are necessary. Particularly in complex situations, such as short cycle times, a high number of assembly steps or a large number of variants, our Industrial Projection Guidance (IPG) can greatly simplify manual work.

 

Challenges in Production and Quality Assurance

While many steps in production are already highly automated, there will still be activities in assembly  and quality assurance that require manual rework. Due to the increasing variety of variants, they are also becoming more and more complex. Employees have to quickly switch back and forth between different product lines - a mistake can easily happen. For each model you need a separate positioning or testing template. In addition to the exact positioning of elements, it is often crucial to simply locate features quickly and safely. The high number of variants makes it difficult to follow the correct order without forgetting individual steps. Custom-made templates are expensive in the long run, because not only their procurement often represents a significant investment - storage and maintenance also cause additional costs. The more product series and variants you have in your portfolio, the more templates you need and the more expensive it gets.

 

Our Solution: Industrial Projection Guidance

Projection Guidance Solutions from Atlas Copco aim to provide optimal support for production, assembly, quality assurance and rework. Our dynamic laser- and video projection make it possible to replace traditional templates with digital ones. The solutions lead to higher productivity thanks to intuitive worker guidance. The system is easy to set up, and quickly ready for use. The integrated OPC-UA interface is part of all products and enables integration into plants and synchronization with conveyor technology. Projection contents are then displayed fully automatically as soon as a component is conveyed into the relevant area.

Laser Projection in Production

Digitalization and the Internet of Things (IoT) are in the process of changing production. The digital factory enables a greater variety of variants with shorter product cycles at the same time. Networking and digital systems support people in carrying out manual work precisely and reliably, for example in assembly or quality assurance. Thanks to the visualization of 3D information by using laser projection, there are numerous advantages in complex manufacturing.

Dynamic Video Projection

Video projection is used in a wide range of industrial sectors wherever complex 3D information needs to be visualized on components. Using a calibrated video projector or beamer, production or CAD data from the production system is projected precisely onto moving components and, depending on the work step, displayed to the worker as an animated step-by-step sequence or simultaneously across the work process. In this way, manual work that still has to be carried out, for example in assembly or quality assurance, can be done faster, more precisely, and more reliably. 

 

 

Features and Benefits
