ADVANCED WEB INTERFACE FOR REMOTE CONTROLLING A ROBOTIZED FLEXIBLE WORKCELL

Nowadays production flows are modular, each module in the enterprise being specialized and used to achieve a particular task. In many cases the modules are connected and materials are sequentially processed in each module resulting a final, unique product or assembly. One typical such production module is a flexible cell/system using multiple robots. The paper describes a platform which is a software product designed to control and supervise multiple robot-vision controllers using remote connections with a number of Adept Technology V+ controllers, either located in a local network or via Internet. Additionally the platform allows users to run remote robot vision sessions and to develop and execute robot-vision programs.
