Abstract
A computer-implemented method is for generating reference data for use in a manufacturing and/or assembly process. The method may include, as a method step, obtaining a digital model of a workpiece. Herein, the digital model may be, in particular, a 3D model. The digital model may also be, in particular, a CAD model. The workpiece may be, in particular, an assembled workpiece. In another step, the method may include obtaining video data of the manufacturing and/or assembly process of the workpiece. Furthermore, the method may include generating a digital flowchart of the manufacturing and/or assembly process based at least in part on the digital model and the video data.
Claims15
A computer-implemented method of generating reference data for at least one of a manufacturing process and an assembly process, the method comprising:
- obtaining a digital model of a workpiece;
- obtaining video data of the at least one of the manufacturing process and the assembly process of the workpiece;
- and,
- generating a digital flowchart of the at least one of the manufacturing and the assembly process based at least in part on the digital model and the video data.
A computer-implemented method of controlling and/or performing feedback-control and/or inspecting at least one of a manufacturing process and an assembly process, the method comprising:
- detecting an actual state in the at least one of the manufacturing process and the assembly process based at least in part on video data of the at least one of the manufacturing process and assembly process;
- recognizing a deviation of an actual state from a target state, wherein the target state includes reference data for the at least one of the manufacturing process and the assembly process and the reference data includes a digital flowchart;
- generating at least one of an inspection result and a work instruction for an agent;
- wherein the digital flowchart is generated by:
- obtaining a digital model of a workpiece;
- obtaining video data of the at least one of the manufacturing process and the assembly process of the workpiece;
- and,
- generating the digital flowchart of the at least one of the manufacturing and the assembly process based at least in part on the digital model and the video data.
A computer program comprising:
- instructions for generating reference data for at least one of a manufacturing process and an assembly process, said instructions being stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium;
- said instructions being configured, when the program is executed by a computer, to cause the computer to:
- obtain a digital model of a workpiece;
- obtain video data of the at least one of the manufacturing process and the assembly process of the workpiece;
- and,
- generate a digital flowchart of the at least one of the manufacturing and the assembly process based at least in part on the digital model and the video data.
