Challenge:
A manufacturing client sought to transition from a fixed assembly line to a flexible, mobile assembly environment, aiming to enhance production agility and minimize downtime.
Solution:
BM COM designed and integrated a Line-less Mobile Assembly System (LMAS) using:
- Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) and Autonomous Mobile Machines (AMMs) for part delivery and task execution.
- ROS (Robot Operating System) for robot control and coordination.
- 5G and Wi-Fi 6 connectivity for low-latency communication.
- MQTT bridge for IoT messaging.
- PTC ThingWorx dashboards for real-time visibility.
Results:
- Increased production flexibility by enabling rapid reconfiguration of workflows.
- Reduced downtime during product changeovers by 40%.
- Improved worker safety through automation of hazardous tasks.
