US 2026/0086041 A1 · SYSTEM FOR MONITORING VEHICLE MANUFACTURING PROCESS EMPLOYING PORTABLE VISION SYSTEM AND QUALITY MONITORING SYSTEM

Abstract

A system includes a station information system, a portable vision system, and a quality monitoring system. The station information system includes a station computing device configured to provide a notification related to a manufacturing operation performed on a component. The portable vision system includes a quality check module configured to include a station task module configured to execute a quality check task based on an image. The quality monitoring system includes a quality monitoring computing device configured to request the portable vision system to execute the quality check task based on a trigger message from the station information system and to provide a task data message related to the quality check task executed by the portable vision system to the station information system. The station computing device is configured to provide the notification based on the task data message from quality monitoring system via the user interface device.

Dependent claims

A method for monitoring a vehicle manufacturing process, the method comprising:

detecting a component at a manufacturing station by a station information system disposed at the manufacturing station;
transmitting a trigger message from the station information system requesting a portable vision system associated with the station information system to execute a quality check task, wherein the trigger message includes data identifying the portable vision system;
in response to the trigger message, capturing an image of the component by the portable vision system;
executing the quality check task based on the captured image to determine whether the component has a defect or an imperfection;
and
in response to receiving a task data message related to the executed quality check task, providing a notification related to a manufacturing operation performed on the component at the manufacturing station.

3 more elements

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing processor-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:

detect a component at a manufacturing station by a station information system disposed at the manufacturing station;
transmit a trigger message from the station information system requesting a portable vision system associated with the station information system to execute a quality check task, wherein the trigger message includes data identifying the portable vision system;
in response to the trigger message, capture an image of the component by the portable vision system;
execute the quality check task based on the captured image to determine whether the component has a defect or an imperfection;
and
in response to receiving a task data message related to the executed quality check task, provide a notification related to a manufacturing operation performed on the component at the manufacturing station.
