“…At the production planning stage, when decisions concerning manufacturing processes are addressed, planning engineers are more flexible with optimizing the process and defining a strategy for reducing energy consumption with several methods. Within the context of IR, at this stage, efficiency can be improved, for example, by optimizing the IR operating schedule and choosing IR that have low energy consumption rates [7] or by optimizing IR operating parameters and their operating conditions. Meanwhile, at the commissioning stage, reducing energy consumption can be conducted by eliminating waiting time and reducing the idle time of IR.…”

Reducing the energy consumption of industrial robots (IR) that are used in manufacturing systems has become a main focus in the development of green production systems. This is due to the reality that almost all automated manufacturing processes are using IR as the main component. Thus, reducing the energy consumption of IR will automatically reduce operating costs and CO 2 emissions. Therefore, a method for reducing the energy consumption of IR in manufacturing systems is desired. Firstly, this paper presents a literature survey of the research in energy consumption analysis of IR that is used in manufacturing processes. The survey found that current research in this field is focused on the development of simulation models of IR that are able to be used to predict its energy consumption. Secondly, a modular model to analyze power consumption and dynamic behavior of IR is developed. Afterward, an experimental investigation is carried out to validate and estimate the accuracy of the model developed. The investigation shows that the developed modular model can be conveniently used to optimize the industrial robot's operating parameters, which are commonly needed for production planning and at the process optimization stage. In addition, the investigation shows that the process constraints, environment layout, productivity requirement, Paryanto ( ) · M. Brossog · J. Franke as well as the robot payload and operating speed are the key factors that must be considered for optimizing the productivity and efficiency of IR.

“…Automation and industrial robotics however allow to automate such complex processes while maintaining a high level of flexibility. While there are many different industrial applications that reflect this scheme, [1], [2], [3], in this paper we will focus on the particular processes of heavy grinding and welding as they have been used as test cases for our implementation.…”

Abstract-Planning and monitoring the manufacturing of high quality one-of-a-kind products are challenging tasks. In the implementation of an industrial system, the commissioning phase is typically comprised of a programming phase and an optimization phase. Most of the resources are commonly invested in the optimization of the process. The time and cost of the implementation can be reduced if the monitoring system is not embedded in the industrial process, but kept instead as a decoupled task. In this paper we present a framework to simulate and execute the monitoring task of an industrial process in Unity3D, without interfering with the original system. The monitoring system is made of external additional equipment and is decoupled from the industrial task. The monitoring robot's path is subject to multiple constraints to track the original process without affecting its execution. Moreover, the framework is flexible thanks to the Unity-ROS communication so that the monitoring task can be carried on by any ROS-compatible device. The monitoring system has been applied to a robotic system for heavy, multi-pass TIG welding of voluminous work-pieces. The results of the implementation show that the constraints for monitoring were satisfactory in the 3D environment and capable for real robot application.
