Abstract: Provided is a production module for processing or handling a product in a production system, which production module has a product detection module for reading in product parameters associated to the product, and an interaction module for assigning an adjacent production module to a transfer port. Furthermore, a local assignment table is provided, in which non-adjacent conveying objectives in the production system are in each case assigned to one of the transfer ports. A balancing module serves for iterative reading of first assignment information of a corresponding assignment table of a first adjacent production module, for iterative formation of the local assignment table with the aid of the read-in first assignment information, and for iterative transfer of second assignment information of the local assignment table to a second adjacent production module.

Abstract: A method for determining a trajectory of a robot from a starting position to a target position is provided. The starting position and the target position are manually defined by a user in a real environment of the robot. Then a collision-free trajectory of the robot from the starting position to the target position is determined, based on the surroundings of the robot. Also provided is a device, a robot system, a computer program and a machine-readable storage medium.

Abstract: A control device for a production module that has a settings management module for detecting restrictions for operating settings of the production module and for producing corresponding restriction data records is provided. A data memory is provided for the purpose of storing a local restriction table containing a multiplicity of restriction data records. A balancing module is used to iteratively read in first restriction data records in a corresponding restriction table of a first adjacent production module, to iteratively build the local restriction table on the basis of the first restriction data records which have been read in and to iteratively forward second restriction data records in the local restriction table to a second adjacent production module. A control module is also provided for the purpose of setting an operating setting according to a restriction data record which identifies this operating setting.

Abstract: For optical quality control, a product image of a production installation captured by an image capture device for given intrinsic and extrinsic parameters is used and digital twin data of a digital twin of the production installation are used, to render a synthetic simulation image based on the digital twin data, wherein the rendered synthetic simulation image is based on the same intrinsic and extrinsic parameters as during product image capture, to transfer the product image from a real domain into an artificial domain by a trained domain adaptation and in the process to generate a synthetic product image from the product image with domain transfer parameters obtained by the training, to compare the synthetic product image with the synthetic simulation image by a comparison operator, and to output a comparison result which qualitatively assesses the product.

Abstract: It is proposed to assemble a product on a modular basis from product parts to be assembled, wherein the product assembling being split into two separate operations, by (i) automated machine fetching as well as automated machine placing the product parts part-by-part from a delivery area on optically localized distribution fixtures at a hand-over area in the course of a logistic distribution operation and a distribution fixture placed product part from optically localized distribution fixtures at the hand-over area on optically localized assembly fixtures at an assembly workspace in the course of an assembly operation, (ii) computing and executing by automated machine motion generation primary kinematic machine-motion-sequences and secondary kinematic machine-motion-sequences, (iii) providing an automated machine architecture to enable or ensure, based on a “world model for automated machines”, a three-dimensional model of an assembly environment, information ANG, of the product and the product parts and an “automated machine workflow.”

Abstract: A product model data set with data for production steps to be carried out for the product and sub-products thereof is generated and assigned to a product copy to be produced. Data on a production step is read from the product model data set, and a production module which is available for carrying out the production step is ascertained. If the production step models a sub-product, a sub-product model data set is generated using the product model data set and transmitted to the ascertained production module. If the production step is an assembly step, each ascertained production module is entered into sub-product model data sets as the transport destination for the respective sub-product copy. If the production step can be carried out by the ascertained production module on a product copy, a transport destination is ascertained for the product copy from the product model data set.
