Example methods and systems may provide for a system that includes a control system communicatively coupled to a first robotic device and a second robotic device. The control system may identify a collaborative operation to be performed by a first robotic device and a second robotic device that is based on a relative positioning between the first robotic device and the second robotic device. The control system may also determine respective locations of the first robotic device and the second robotic device. The control system may further initiate a movement of the first robotic device along a path from the determined location of the first robotic device towards the determined location of the second robotic device. The first robotic device and the second robotic device may then establish a visual handshake that indicates the relative positioning between the first robotic device and the second robotic device for the collaborative operation.

Die Antriebseinheiten (15, 42) werden motorisch oder generatorisch betrieben, wobei der Energieausgleich in einem Spannungszwischenkreis mit integrierten Bremschopper oder Bremswiderstand erfolgt und wobei die Antriebseinheiten (15, 42) im Bereich der Feldschwächung betrieben werden.
摘要:
The disclosed embodiments relate to simulation of multiple PLCs which are to be physically implemented in a networked or otherwise coordinated manner, such as to control various industrial machines and/or implement multiple steps used in performing an industrial process. Each simulated PLC 114 is throttled relative to each of the other simulated PLCs 114 by use of a common simulated clock 116. The physical characteristics of the particular PLC being simulated are used to ensure that each PLC's behavior is consistent with the physical characteristics of the other PLCs being simulated, e.g. relative to the time elapsed by the common simulated clock 116. Accordingly, simulation of a PLC having physical characteristics different from one or more of the other PLCs will reflect the differences and provide a more accurate representation of the expected actual operation thereof.

Methods for automated handling for forming a device and automated handling systems for forming a device are presented. One of the methods includes providing a production area with a plurality of destinations and a transport system which includes transport and load/unload (U/L) units in the production area. The transport units include automated guided vehicles (AGVs) with a storage compartment for holding at least one carrier containing production material for forming the device and U/L units include AGVs with a robotic system for handling carriers. A transfer of a selected carrier from a first destination to a second destination is determined. A request to the transport system is issued to effect the transfer of the selected carrier, which includes using a selected U/L unit, a selected transport unit, or a combination of selected U/L and transport units.

An improved press line is described which comprises at least one mechanical press with at least one electric drive motor (20), a ram (23), a mechanical means (27, 25) for operating said press, and one other device or auxiliary production device, which press is arranged so that the speed (W) of the at least one said drive motor may be varied during at least one pressing or non-pressing part of a press cycle. Improved operating characteristics and optimised energy use and cycle times are obtained by controlling the speed of said motor and synchronizing a movement of said press to a movement or position of at least other device, loader or other press. A system comprising such a press is described, and a computer program for controlling the press line.
