Robots, or better call some of them Cobots, that respond to the commands of operators who also use voice and who participate interactively in collaboration sessions on the Webex Teams platform, managing production, critical issues, and performance improvements
Industry has entered one of the most important challenges of its path: changing the perspective in the innovation of the man-machine relationship.
From a long and rich phase in which innovation has tried to make the "language of machines" more and more effective, now the prospect of increasingly pushed integration between robots and operators allows us to enter projects that "tear down" the walls that they still separated the language of man from the language of machines.
We are now looking concretely at the creation of scenarios aimed at the creation of cobots and real collaborative robots in respect of natural language.
Cool articles to read:
And this is an innovation plan that is played in the key of the ecosystem, of multidisciplinary innovation, the ability to manage all the levels that contribute to the development of solutions that are capable of being both innovative and stable at the same time.
The opportunity is provided by Cisco's ecosystem work for Industry 4.0 and Enterprise 4.0.
In this case, this path sees the involvement of one of the most important manufacturers of robotics and automation systems such as Fanuc and the system integrator Alascom, who added a commitment to technical consultancy services in the ICT sector and in the networks of TLC and IP technologies.
In the development of solutions on the Internet, of predictive maintenance associated with the IoT.
Industry4.0 and collaborative design: is your company traditional, modern, or super smart?
In this regard we suggest reading the article on the collaboration between Cisco and Fanuc. It combines cloud, network intelligence, and advanced learning to manage predictive maintenance, reduce energy consumption and extend the average life of machinery.
Realization of this collaborative logic is real and concrete (and has also been the subject of demonstrations also within the Digital District of the latest edition of Sps Italia in Parma) and is based on three major components:
- a) the collaborative robot Fanuc CR-7iA / L
- b) the Alascom application of natural language processing based on ML
- c) neurolinguistic programming a series of Cisco solutions
- - c1) Webex Teams collaboration platform (evolution of Cisco Spark)
- - c2) cybersecurity solutions
- - c3) industrial security solutions
- - c4) Industry network management solutions
- - c5) solutions for data management
Natural collaboration between machines, robots, and people
Ecosystem is the term that best identifies the value of these projects. The goal of this partnership, the possibility of creating a collaboration can be brought to production plants, to companies that make Industry 4.0. natural "between machines, robots, and people.
«The Cisco Webex Teams collaboration platform - he explains - also opens up to machines with the same collaboration method similar to the one that applies to people.
Specifically, the collaborative robot Fanuc CR-7iA / L communicates with the operators, understanding the natural language of man and responding and providing valuable information, on its functioning, on its "state of health", on workloads, and on the quality itself.always in the natural language of the operator".
"The Fanuc collaborative robot acquires a new level of cooperation with operators thanks to the development of applications that run on the Cisco Webex Teams infrastructure."
In this way, the technological evolution of production environments takes advantage of a special acceleration, enabling value-added services and reducing commissioning times.
