Description:SMART ROBOTIC SYSTEM FOR QUALITY CONTROL IN MANUFACTURING PROCESSES
Field of the Invention
[0001] The present invention relates to a smart robotic system for quality control in manufacturing processes. More specifically, the invention relates to an improved system for detecting defects in products using advanced sensors, algorithms, and machine learning techniques, and providing real-time feedback to operators. The system can adapt to different lighting conditions and product variations and maintain consistent performance in different environments, thereby enhancing the overall quality control process in manufacturing.
Background
[0002] The background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Quality control is an essential aspect of manufacturing processes, as it ensures that the products being produced meet the desired specifications. Traditionally, quality control measures have involved manual inspections, which are time-consuming and prone to errors. Moreover, human inspectors may get tired or distracted, which can lead to an increased risk of errors and inconsistencies.
[0004] To address these limitations, smart robotic systems have been introduced in recent years, which offer a more efficient and reliable method of quality control. Smart robotic systems use advanced sensors and algorithms to analyze products and detect defects. These systems can work continuously without fatigue, providing consistent results with minimal human intervention. Few of the patent litratures are listed below.
[0005] US20220187847A1 (By: STRONG FORCE VCN PORTFOLIO 2019) A robot fleet management platform includes datastores configured to store a governance library defining governance standards. Processors execute computer-readable instructions to implement a governance-enabling intelligence layer that receives and responds to intelligence requests received from intelligence service clients. The intelligence layer includes artificial intelligence services including machine learning, rules-based intelligence, digital twin, robot process automation, and machine vision. The set of governance standards is applied to decisions made by one or more of the set of artificial intelligence services. An intelligence layer controller coordinates performance of the artificial intelligence services on behalf of the intelligence service clients and performance of analyses corresponding to the artificial intelligence services based on the set of governance standards. The intelligence layer returns decisions determined by the artificial intelligence services in response to the intelligence requests. The decisions are determined based on intelligence service data sources and the set of analyses.
[0006] US20220197247A1 (By: STRONG FORCE VCN PORTFOLIO 2019) An information technology system for a distributed manufacturing network includes an additive manufacturing management platform with an artificial intelligence system configured to learn on a training set of outcomes, parameters, and data collected from a set of distributed manufacturing network entities and execute simulations on digital twins of the set of distributed manufacturing network entities to make classifications, predictions, and optimization-related decisions for the set of distributed manufacturing network entities. The information technology system includes a distributed ledger system integrated with a digital thread and configured to provide unified views of workflow and transaction information to the set of distributed manufacturing network entities.
[0007] JP2573547B2 (By: FANUC ROBOTICS) A method and system for the flexible assembly of components into an assembly at an assembly station within an assembly area in an adaptive, programmable fashion. Several programmable locators mounted on a platform work cooperatively to receive and support components or parts having critical positioning features at approximate locations. The programmable locators then move the components so that the critical positioning features and hence the components are at desired locations. Thereafter, part position and orientation are constrained at retaining locations while the components are in their desired locations. Processing equipment at least partially joins the retained components either at the assembly station or at a separate processing station. One of the programmable locators may provide one of the retaining locations. Preferably, at least one sensor mounted on one of the programmable locators provides at least one feedback signal for a control means which controls at least one programmable locator to adapt its position with respect to at least one critical feature of its part to thereby relocate the part. In this way, verification of the accuracy of the positioning and holding is provided.
[0008] However, existing smart robotic systems have limitations in their ability to accurately detect defects in products due to factors such as lighting conditions, variations in product materials and shapes, and environmental factors. For example, some products may have reflective surfaces that can cause glare or shadows, making it difficult for smart robotic systems to identify defects accurately. Similarly, variations in product materials and shapes can affect the system's ability to detect defects accurately. Environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and vibration can also impact the system's performance, making it challenging to maintain consistent quality control.
[0009] There is therefore a need for an improved smart robotic system that can address these limitations and provide more accurate and efficient quality control in manufacturing processes. The improved system should be able to adapt to different lighting conditions and product variations, maintain consistent performance in different environments, and provide real-time feedback to operators.
