abstract

  • This project presents a comprehensive exploration of cyber-physical systems (CPS) implemented in the Smart Factory laboratory, focusing on the design and execution of an automated pick-and-place process. Utilizing advanced collaborative robots and mobile robotic bases, this initiative aims to revolutionize traditional manufacturing workflows through enhanced automation and efficiency. In this approach, are integrated diverse arrays of electronic components, including state-of-the-art grippers and sensors, which will work in tandem with sophisticated programming frameworks, specifically the Robot Operating System (ROS) and industrial Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). This multifaceted integration not only facilitates real-time data exchange and operational control but also enhances the adaptability of the system to various manufacturing scenarios by developing traceability for the manufactured goods. The project leverages cutting-edge robotics technology from Omron and mobile platforms such as B1, ensuring a robust and scalable solution tailored to meet the evolving demands of the industry. By simulating realistic operational environments and processes, is validated the effectiveness of the system in reducing operational bottlenecks and improving productivity. Ultimately, this project endeavors to provide an innovative automation solution that addresses the specific requirements of partnering enterprises, demonstrating the transformative potential of cyber-physical systems in enhancing manufacturing capabilities. This work contributes valuable insights into the practical applications of CPS examples, paving the way for future advancements in the field of industrial automation for attending the SDG from UN. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025.
