Abstract
Methods for the production of silos based on designs using an algorithm, wherein the algorithm directs a gathering robot arm to gather one or more parts necessary for the production of the silo; and wherein the algorithm directs a welding robot arm to weld at least some of the parts together; and wherein the algorithm directs a painting robot arm to paint at least some of the parts; and wherein the algorithm optimizes the directions for the gathering robot arm, the welding robot arm and the painting robot arm. And systems for the production of silos based on said designs.
Claims16
A method for the production of silos based on designs using an algorithm,
- wherein, the algorithm directs a gathering robot arm to gather one or more parts necessary for the production of the silo;
- and wherein the algorithm directs a welding robot arm to weld at least some of the parts together;
- and
- wherein the algorithm directs a painting robot arm to paint at least some of the parts;
- and
- wherein the algorithm optimizes the directions for the gathering robot arm, the welding robot arm and the painting robot arm;
- wherein the method further uses an ultra-wide band (UWB) technology for managing the parts in real time;
- wherein the method further comprises a step wherein the parts are associated to one or more ultra-wide band (UWB) tags, and
- comprising the step of monitoring a position of the one or more UWB tags via the UWB technology, wherein the algorithm directs at least one of the gathering robot arm and/or the welding robot arm and/or the painting robot arm based on said position.
A system for the production of silos based on designs comprising:
- a computing device, suitable to run an algorithm;
- a gathering robot arm, suitable to gather one or more parts necessary for the production of the silo;
- a welding robot arm, suitable to weld at least some of the parts together;
- and
- a painting robot arm, suitable to paint at least some of the parts,
- wherein the gathering robot arm, welding robot arm and painting robot arm are connected to the computing device and are suitable to follow directions from the computing device, and
- wherein the directions are optimized by the algorithm;
- wherein system further comprises UWB technology for managing the parts in real time, at least three anchor devices and at least one UWB tag associated to at least one of the parts,
- wherein said anchor devices are configured for detecting the UWB tags and determining by the computing device the position of said UWB tag based on said detections, and
- wherein said computing devices instructs the gathering robot arm, welding robot arm and/or painting robot based on said position.
