The advantage and possibility with asset tracking is a key opener to make more effective decisions in production development. Also, the possibility to secure critical operations is possible with tracking in a production environment. Virtual Manufacturing offers:

Bluetooth tracking technology
Ultra-Wide Band tracking technology
Infrared (IR) tracking technology

We can track everything from human motion of fingers and hands to trucks and material in production and storage facilities. We constantly work on finding new technologies and to ourselves develop and test the technology that is already on the market.

Our experience with Virtual Reality goes back to the end of the 90s.

Virtual Manufacturing has used Virtual Reality (VR) as a tool to navigate and visualize since the end of the 90s. At that time a SGI Onyx2 computer was used together with a headset with 263 x 230 pixels per eye. Today we use VR within several areas:

• Layout projects
  • The entire team can walk around in different concepts suggestions which will ease decision making.
  • Flow simulations can be visualized in VR to increase the understanding.
  • Punktmolnet från en 3D scanning kan visualiseras för att visualisera nuläget. The point cloud from a 3D scan can be visualized to visualize the current situation.
• Virtual training
  • Operators can be trained in VR to be prepared before they are going out in the real environment.
  • Maintenance staff can be trained in VR to streamline the work in the production.
  • Offline programming can be done in VR.
• Work stations and Egonomics
  • New work stations can be built in VR to get better feedback on changes.
  • Current work stations can be evaluated in VR.
  • Virtual Comissioning can be done in VR.

An AIV is the new generation of AGV solutions that have begun to emerge on the market. The big difference between an AGV and an AIV is how they see and navigate through a factory.

Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) and Autonomous Intelligent Vehicles (AIV)

Traditional AGVs follow a pre-determined route with the help of optical or magnetic reading of the track in the floor. AVI is the next generation of AGVs that scans its surroundings and calculates the best way to its destination. The scan gives information about objects and people that are in the way, but also takes redevelopments of the factory into regard which requires reprogramming if you have a traditional AGV.

Automatically controlled vehicles have become an important part of the material handling in many factories and storages. AGVs optimizes the production processes, increase the safety, reduces the costs and can in general be implemented in all current production processes with little modification.

Virtual Manufacturing har flerårig erfarenhet av AGV- och AIV installationer och vi hjälper våra kunder att hitta lösningar som passar för just deras behov. Vi kan hjälpa er med:

Virtual Manufacturing has several years of experience with AGV and AIV installations and we help our customers to find solutions that fit their needs. We can help out with:

• Simulation to determine how many AGVs are needed in your proccesses.
• Configuration of solutions to be able to automate your transports.
• Installation of complete AGV and AIV systems.
• Integration of AGVs with material stands and to create a material train.

Arkites Human Interface Mate (HIM) transforms workinstructions to a digital and interactive environment. Visual workinstructions is the way to go to eliminate errors in production and logistics processes.

HIM gives the operator picking- and assembly instructions through AR and gives warnings when the tasks are performed in the wrong way. The smart sensor validates if the sequence is performed in the right way and eliminates human errors. HIM can be integrated to your other systems, such as Avix, MES and ERP-systems.
