“…This is also due to the fact that in a virtual environment it is possible to verify program components gradually on the basis of known principles of device operation without the need for a perfectly accurate model or production system directly at the implementation site. [7,8] The process of reviving the production system takes place on two levels of reality and consists of two basic elements. The real production equipment or its simulation model and the second is the control system or its virtual form.…”

The aim of the contribution is to create an event-controlled simulation of an automated production system using selected simulation software according to analyses and creation PLC control program compatible with human-machine control interface (HMI) visualization. The programmer can test the control program without the need for additional hardware on a virtual model of the machine. This method is called as a Virtual Commissioning method. The question is whether these new digital technologies are beneficial in the development process of new machines. The theoretical part of the contribution deals with the evaluation of the current state of knowledge in the field of virtual commissioning systems from the perspective of the Industry 4.0 concept and the use of principles taken from the technology of digital twins for analysing the possibilities of productive support of simulation, programming and visualization of control. For the Virtual Commissioning of the Quality-handling station from a flexible production system. It was chosen Tecnomatix Process simulating software for the developing of the Digital Twin of the station that is suitable for the connection of the logical behaviour inputs and outputs of the Digital Twin to the PLCSIM emulator. The main goal is to create a functional PLC program, so that in the second phase the process of virtual commissioning can be tested by the Software-the-Loop method. The preparation of the simulation model consists in a sample of the control station model of the production system, the process of creating kinematic bonds, behaviour model, creating control signals in the Tecnomatix Process Simulate program. Programming procedure and acquaintance with control means in the Simatic Manager program, selection of communication interface and creation of control visualization. In the final work, validation is performed and evaluation supports the objectives and the results confirmed the benefits of the Virtual Commissioning tool.

“…35 In a teaching-playback system, specific tasks are taught to robots in advance, which then in turn work exactly as they are taught according the robot program. 36,37 This means that, if you want the robot to do any operation with specific component in the same way, you need to place every component at exactly the same position. As a result, the production flexibility increases due to the eliminated need for expensive positioning fixtures.…”

Industrial cameras starting to play a significant role in current industrial environment and they represent a strong tool for robotics mainly in cases when they are combined with high-speed robots. However, there are still some difficulties in vision system integration. The capability of such system (e.g. assembly or technological system) depends on several factors, for instance, the camera position, lightning conditions, pattern recognition algorithms, precise setup, as well as well-trained programmer and engineer. The skills of the engineering staff and the precise analysis of conditions and process requirements seem to be crucial for successful solution, what was proved also in our experimental test. The main aim of the article is development and complex performance analysis of robotized screwing application with integrated vision system, concretely the case study of automated assembly system in automotive industry—bolting tightening robotized station as a part of car seat assembly process. The main key elements of the designed workplace are industrial robot FANUC M-20 iA/20M with integrated iRVision system containing the industrial camera Sony XC-56. The real influence of inaccuracies during the design process, gradual “step-by-step” refinement, and final influence of all changings on the final quality and efficiency of designed system was demonstrated. At the end, we reached the point where the total number of screwing operations with NOK results (not OK / negative results) is about six single negative results per day, which represents less than 0.1% of all recognitions (overall reliability is higher than 99.9%).

“…The main effort of product companies is to ensure the high and stable quality of their products in order to be competitive. Saga et al [1] mentioned that advanced digital technology is already used in industry, however with the concept of Industry 4.0 it transforms production into smarter automation in various ways through the installation of industrial and collaborative robots, intelligent sensors, advanced monitoring methods, the application of production simulations, virtual reality and virtual commissioning [2]. Modern advanced machine vision systems based on "smart camera sensors" have opened new applications and rapidly spread into many industrial areas, such as general process control, object identification and recognition, as well as quality control [3,4].…”

The paper deals with the conceptual design of cable-driven parallel robot which will be used for inspection and monitoring tasks in production process. The reason and need of vision based control of the production process is described in the introduction. Furthermore, mechanisms with parallel kinematic structure are described, as well as their usage in industry and sports broadcasts. On that basis, there is proposed the conceptual design of the cable driven parallel robot (CDPR) for desired task of visual monitoring of production line. Finally, there is proposed a simulation of designed robotic system and workspace shape analysis.
