PROJECT TOPICAdvanced Manufacturing & Industrial IoT
Modular Assembly Workbench
An ergonomic industrial engineering concept integrating bin break-beam sensors, motorized height adjustment, and smart torque tool telemetry to guide operators through manual assembly sequences.
Zero-Error Assembly Cell Engineering
- ✓Applies Poka-Yoke error-proofing through sensor-verified component picking.
- ✓Logs exact fastener torque curves to ensure mechanical build integrity.
- ✓Improves operator ergonomics through automated height and lighting adjustments.
The Engineering Challenge
Problem / Objective
Complex multi-variant mechanical assemblies suffer from missed washers, wrong screw lengths, and under-torqued joints in manual lines.
