Availability and assembly systems on the base of product data
Abstract
Reliable information about the operational availability of assembly systems is of great importance for the users of complex production facilities, especially when such facilities operate at the their capacity limit. Nowadays, in most cases, the availability of production machines is monitored and evaluated using collected machine status data. This paper presents a new approach for permanent availability determination of assembly systems based on the usage of in-process acquired product data. This approach is especially applicable for production systems that produce goods for which complete traceability is required. The results of a permanent product data acquisition can also be used for predictive maintenance.
