Analysis of Advanced Digital Technology Applications for Effective Human–Machine–Robot Collaboration in the Production of Precision Mechatronic Systems
摘要
Digitalization and automation of manufacturing processes are becoming key factors of competitiveness in the production of high-precision mechatronic systems. This article presents the results of the initial phase of research conducted at SPINEA, Ltd., focused on identifying processes with the highest potential for digitalization and the implementation of collaborative robotics (HSR - Human-System-Robot). The analyzed production operations included machining, final finishing, and assembly of DriveSpin® actuators and TwinSpin® cycloidal gearboxes. Based on an assessment of frequency, variability, and ergonomic requirements, the main areas suitable for digital transformation were defined: material picking, screwing, pressing, substance application, and intralogistics. The DS 070 actuator, which has the highest share in the company’s production portfolio, was selected as the pilot product. The results serve as a foundation for designing intelligent and flexible workplaces with collaborative robots and real-time digital data acquisition.
