Arrival
Modern factories are hardware designed to do only predefined operations.
They require several years for design, installation and launch, being expensive, require an expensive special facility, having unique product-dependant infrastructure, and limited possibility of updates by new technologies.
Our Autonomous smart factory: • Has a low entry threshold - affordable for local, medium business • Product agnostic, joint types and materials defined. • Has substantially shorter time-to-market • Easy to scale, changes by software updates • AI-driven To achieve these, the new concept needs to make similar evolution that transformed a mainframe into a modern datacenter that consists of unified blade servers and can process different types of load, balancing the tasks between resources.
Autonomous smart factory consists of: • Smart cell (blade server for our ”Datacenter”) - unified software-driven robotic cells that can do any operations by using flexible AI applications • Autonomous mobile robots (AMR) as flexible transportation system (databus for ”Datacenter”) • Factory OS - real-time, AI-based, multi-agent system to control all objects of the factory and automatically, in real-time, find the best schedule, process, virtual conveyor and layout to support different products (OS for our ”Datacenter”) • Digital Factory Create - contains digital states of all factory objects, updated in real-time; helps design products in factory capabilities.
