Intelligent Navigation of Assembly Stations Based on Real-Time Manufacturing Information

In order to improve the real-time control and optimization of assembly process, this article takes the basic execution unitassembly station as the study subject. Based on real-time manufacturing information, the concept of the intelligent navigation of assembly activities is put forward. Through the application of RFID technology to capture the multi-source information, three kinds of navigation services, namely real-time assembly operating guidance service, collaborative manufacturing service among assembly stations and real-time optimization service of task queue, are designed to implement optimal navigation. The presented concept and services will facilitate the real-time data driven process monitor and control between the assembly line and assembly station.
