Abstract
The present solution provides a model for manufacturing products, such as electric vehicles. The solution can use a data processing system to receive data identifying physical characteristics of a part of a plurality of parts of a product to assemble. Data processing system can identify a first constraint corresponding to ergonomic data for assembling the part. Data processing system can identify a second constraint corresponding to the physical characteristics of the part. Data processing system can generate, using the data input into a model of the data processing system and based on the first constraint and the second constraint, a sequence identifying an order in which to assemble the part into the product with respect to assembly of the plurality of parts.
Claims18
A data processing system, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory, the processor configured to:
- receive data identifying a physical characteristic of a part of a plurality of parts of a product to assemble;
- identify a first constraint corresponding to ergonomic data for assembling the part;
- identify a second constraint corresponding to the physical characteristic of the part;
- generate, using the data as an input into a model of the data processing system and based on the first constraint and the second constraint, a sequence identifying an order in which to assemble the part into the product with respect to assembly of the plurality of parts;
- and
- select, using the model and based on physical characteristics of one or more assembly stations, a first assembly station of the one or more assembly stations for installing the part according to the physical characteristics of the first assembly station.
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a data processing system, data identifying a physical characteristic of a part of a plurality of parts of a product to assemble;
- identifying, by the data processing system, a first constraint corresponding to ergonomic data for assembling the part;
- identifying, by the data processing system, a second constraint corresponding to the physical characteristic of the part;
- generating, by the data processing system, using the data as an input into a model of the data processing system and based on the first constraint and the second constraint, a sequence identifying an order in which to assemble the part into the product with respect to assembly of the plurality of parts;
- and
- selecting, by the data processing system, using the model and based on physical characteristics of one or more assembly stations, a first assembly station of the one or more assembly stations for installing the part according to the physical characteristics of the first assembly station.
A non-transitory computer-readable media having processor readable instructions, such that, when executed, causes a processor to:
- receive data identifying a physical characteristic of a part of a plurality of parts of a product to assemble;
- identify a first constraint corresponding to ergonomic data for assembling the part;
- identify a second constraint corresponding to the physical characteristic of the part;
- generate, using the data as an input into a model and based on the first constraint and the second constraint, a sequence identifying an order in which to assemble the part into the product with respect to assembly of the plurality of parts;
- and
- select, using the model and based on physical characteristics of one or more assembly stations, a first assembly station of the one or more assembly stations for installing the part according to the physical characteristics of the first assembly station.
