20.500.12556/DKUM-84840 Product assembly assistance system based on pick-to-light and computer vision technology Product assembly is often one of the last steps in the production process. Product assembly is often carried out by workers (assemblers) rather than robots, as it is generally challenging to adapt automation to any product. When assembling complex products, it can take a long time before the assembler masters all the steps and can assemble the product independently. Training time has no added value; therefore, it should be reduced as much as possible. This paper presents a custom-developed system that enables the guided assembly of complex and diverse products using modern technologies. The system is based on pick-to-light (PTL) modules, used primarily in logistics as an additional aid in the order picking process, and Computer Vision technology. The designed system includes a personal computer (PC), several custom-developed PTL modules and a USB camera. The PC with a touchscreen visualizes the assembly process and allows the assembler to interact with the system. The developed PC application guides the operator through the assembly process by showing all the necessary assembly steps and parts. Two-step verification is used to ensure that the correct part is picked out of the bin, first by checking that the correct pushbutton on the PTL module has been pressed and second by using a camera with a Computer Vision algorithm. The paper is supported by a use case demonstrating that the proposed system reduces the assembly time of the used product. The presented solution is scalable and flexible as it can be easily adapted to show the assembly steps of another product. product assembly PTL pick-to-light computer vision LabVIEW performance analysis računalniški vid analiza true false true MDPI AG Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik https://www.mdpi.com/journal/sensors © 2022 by the authors Znanstveno delo 2023-07-31 14:35:59 2023-07-31 14:35:59 2025-03-26 12:49:50 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2022 0 0 24 str. iss. 24 Vol. 22 2022 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 2022-09-09 2022-12-11 2022-12-13 681.5 133762819 10.3390/s22249769 1424-8220 Product_Assembly_Assistance_System-Hercog-2022.pdf Product_Assembly_Assistance_System-Hercog-2022.pdf 1 268407ECB61363378BBDF6031692B6DA 6c5b95e367dd20b93e4a5063c78fb70f36e841240d22ca1fbf9ebfbaebb0122f 956f0608-2f9f-11ee-a26d-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=169104 https://www.mdpi.com/1424-8220/22/24/9769 0 aa4a5b96-2f9f-11ee-a26d-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=169105 Fakulteta za elektrotehniko, računalništvo in informatiko Fakulteta za logistiko Fakulteta za strojništvo 0 0 0
