BEMO-COFRA visits Fiat Brazil
The manufacturing process consists of various so-called “stations” and BEMO-COFRA has chosen to focus on the Framing Stations; thus defining the user requirements that will feed into the development work based on this particular station. Therefore the team focused particularly on the Framing Station components and their interaction. A successful case of wireless connection between devices (robots, grippers) and a PLC was demonstrated.
The issues concerning communication, such as the interference in wireless links and difficulties to monitor the state of some devices, were discussed with the FIAT employees. The main objective of BEMO-COFRA is precisely to develop a framework that can resolve these issues.
The information gathered during the visit to FIAT will also feed into the development of a demonstration of the chosen scenario which will be presented in a review meeting in November 2012.
The Fiat production plant in Betim (Minas Gerais, Brazil) was established in 1976. Fiat currently operates three daily shifts with a production capacity of up to 800,000 vehicles per year. With a $5 billion investment in 2010, it is one of the largest automobile factories in the world.
The following partners participated in the FIAT visit: Judith Kelner (UFPE), Eduardo Souto (UFAM), Luis Fernando Moreira (iVision), Marcelo Borghetti (iVision), Felipe Madeira (Comau), Marina Moraes (Comau) and Marcos Figueiredo (Comau).
