STORAGE AND POWER STATION
With the new industrial revolution, software, hardware, and processes are integrated so that a “Push” production (manufactured first and then sold) becomes a “Pull” production (only what the consumer requests is manufactured).
The digital transformation applied to the industry is characterized by the total interaction between the elements and processes that constitute a production unit.
Our didactic system is designed to integrate the knowledge of different areas or departments within a company.
Therefore, students from different careers can interact, learn, and apply concepts from their specialization area “hard skills” and study concepts from other knowledge areas.
This station functions as an Automated Storage and Retrieval System (AS/RS) warehouse.
The station is composed of a conveyor belt that feeds the material into the system, and a cartesian robot that positions it in one of the four warehouses, in the location determined by the software according to the type of the material identified by the visual inspection sensor.
Two additional stations (Control Station and 3D Print Station) complete the main station.
