Revolutionising Smart Factories with reality capture

作者：Renata Barradas Gutiérrez

Productivity and sustainability – these are the forces driving the need for连接性和技术的集成在制造过程中。这种整合，称为智能工厂，驱动器automated and connected factories, increasing productivity and value across all the supply network.

Inautonomous connected ecosystems,data is connected seamlessly,融合物理世界和数字世界,building intelligence into all processes. Autonomous connected factories, or Smart Factories, l实时赚取并迅速适应不断变化的条件, pursuingperfect quality with optimised design，需要更少的输入并产生零废物。

Digital copies of the physical world are one of the key elements of a Smart Factory. To manage and monitor physical processes in an autonomous decentralised way,numerous technologies need to be orchestrated within copies of the physical world.

Mirroring the physical world for automation

Elettric80，一家领先的公司专门针对高批量消费产品制造商实施灵活和模块化集成自动化解决方案亚搏彩票手机版下载3D reality capture to design modern automated warehouses. This Italian company has installed more than2,000 automatic systems all around the world, earning worldwide recognition as one of the market leaders inintegrated automation solutions.

“ 3D激光扫描的使用正在成为我们所有装置中的标准。借助环境的数字化，我们能够开发和“虚拟地部署”我们的系统，因此我们可以预见到现有环境中的集成可能引起的问题，”said Vittorio Cavirani, general manager at Elettric80.

To design andbuild effective and safe factories根据制造商的应用需求设计，Elettric80专家digitalise each plant before design和development. Using a combination of Leica Geosystems’ laser scanners and a total station, experts can produce various deliverables, including2D布局，3D网眼和模型：

• Plant layout validation.
• Design and optimise trajectories and safety areas for Autonomous Guided Vehicles (AGVs) based on the available space and prevent vehicle collision.
• 的地方robot workcell respecting the actual clearances of the environment.
• Automatically extract operation points (points where the autonomous vehicles perform tasks, such as pallet pick-up and drop).
• 通过在数字模型中移动车辆来执行“虚拟部署”。
• Complete ground quality inspection.

“现代自动化仓库的设计是一项复杂的任务，需要详细而准确的工业建筑模型。更新现有2楼平面图的常见方法是根据稀疏的措施，手持仪器（例如激光距离仪表或总站）进行调查。亚博5分钟快三尽管这些仪器提供了非常准确的点对点措施，但可以获取的数据量可能不够，从而导致高成本和延误，”said Mikhail Giorgini, R&D project leader at Elettric80. “因此，elettric80决定apply 3D terrestrial laser scanning technology to overcome the limitationsof traditional surveys. Thanks to this workflow, the real deployment of the plant becomes a straightforward and low-risk phase.”

The basis for automation

自动化仓库包括沿预定义路径移动的AGV以及固定的机器人工作单。为了使托盘机器人自动化机器人，各种激光导向车辆，高速机器人拉伸包装纸，托盘控制系统，机器人标签机，包装和标签系统除其他外，设计师需要对建筑环境有充分的了解，并在可操作的模型上进行工作那镜像现实。

“We adopted a novel workflow for the design of automated warehouses that improved the traditional development process by performing a3D调查结合了terrestrial laser scanners和total station. Then extracted high-level information about the environment, exploiting innovative algorithms for large-scale point cloud processing,”乔金尼说。

The reality capture solution used by Elettric80 consists of:

• Leica Nova TS60total station
• Leica ScanStation P30高清3D激光扫描仪
• Leica RTC3603D激光扫描仪
• Leica BLK360imaging laser scanner
• Leica Cyclone REGISTER点云注册软件

RTC360和P30扫描仪用于大规模3D调查in conjunction with a TS60 total station forcontrol point measurements. The BLK360 is used for preliminary surveys. The team registers scanned data in Cyclone REGISTER and re-imports data into Elettric80’s proprietary software.

With a need to handle data at a large scale, the Italian company selected Leica Geosystems due to the高精准度,可靠性和worldwide support offered.“ Leica Geosystems提供了state-of-the-art solution- both in terms of precision and reliability - when it comes to data acquisition. When we had some problems,we have always been assisted而且，即使在充满挑战的情况下，我们一直都能够完成工作。”said Fabio Oleari, R&D team leader at Elettric80.

共同的信念 - 赋予自治的未来

Shaping urban and production ecosystems to become increasingly connected and autonomous is a goal that both Hexagon and Elettric80 are fulfilling.

有一个complete 3D model仓库帮助Elettric80improve operational efficiency through optimisation of design，生产路线，机器维护和定位的管理。经过将现实捕获整合到其过程中亚博ag真人规律，专家知道没有访问网站的情况，打开一个competitive advantage.

“We’ll continue to invest in3D调查solutionsto further减少我们自定义解决方案的部署时间,”said Domenico Di Terlizzi, R&D manager at Elettric80. “The benefits of this project have been disruptive, and drastically changed the way Elettric80 meets the needs of its customers.”
