Strategic Line: 4.0 Digital Manufacturing
CHARLIE project
CHARLIE is a project linked to Digital Manufacturing, which integrates and puts people and technology to work together.
An interface called #MIC directs and controls the work between the CHARLIE robot and the BERKOA machine. CHARLIE takes the parts and tools in the warehouse and delivers them to the BERKOA machine for machining.
CHARLIE is more than just a robot:
- On the one hand, it is an autonomous mobile platform; #AMR (autonomous mobile robot). In this case it is collaborative, i.e. it has the ability and understanding to work together with people.
- On the other hand, it integrates a manipulator robot, in this case a KUKA robot, which moves the parts and tools from one side to the other.
By means of the MIC top-level interface, we can take control of both robots. For this we use the #MIC #software developed by SMARTPM, which will direct and guide their work as if directing an orchestra, robot, tool placement and machine work.
PREDICAI project
Prediction by Artificial Intelligence
FUNDING: DIH4AI OPEN CALL 2, European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement N. 101017057.
CONSORTIUM: Alchemy Machine Learning S.L. (coordinator) - IMH Campus.
OBJECTIVE: PREDICAI will be centered on monitoring bearings health state based on information from accelerometers and electrical variables of the motor. This will be accomplished b the combination of supervised and un-supervised machine learning techniques that will include a classification model such as LSTM and the use of time series with the development of a Recurrent Neural Network. Data will be generated by attaching an accelerometer to the bearing. Data will be generated on a test bench where these failures can be caused, both by simulating the errors with a tool with unbalanced weights, and by putting defective bearings on the bench.
DIH2 FACTOR PROGRAMME
FOR: Companies in the Manufacturing and/or Logistics sector offering robotics, automation or artificial intelligence products or services, and companies wishing to increase their investment in the development of such products or services.
OBJETIVE: DIH² believes in the potential of robotics to transform manufacturing agility in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and drive economic growth across the European Union. In short, the goal is to accelerate factories through robotics.
FIELD OF ACTIVITY: DIH² Factor is aimed at start-up and scale-up companies (up to Series A) specialising in: robot hardware, artificial intelligence and data analytics, human-robot interaction, automation for increased sustainability, intralogistics or warehouse management in factories, and decentralised production.
MEMBERS: IMH Campus is member of DIH² Factor network. See more members...
FUNDING: DIH² Factor is a financing programme for SMEs promoted by the DIH² and BLUMORPHO networks.This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 824964

AIMAN project
Taking steps forward in the automation of machining using artificial intelligence
FUNDING: AI REGIO, European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement N. 952003.
CONSORTIUM: WOLCO (coordinator) - IMH Campus (technical management) - ZITU (partner)
OBJECTIVE:
The development of the Artificial Intelligence necessary to control the real wear of the tools and be able to predict the useful lifetime would allow for an optimal use of the tools. In this way, problems such as discarding tools before the end of their useful life, quality in the parts due to worn tools, having to re-produce a part due to the poor quality of it due to an unsuitable or deteriorated tool increasing the production expense, will be reduced to a minimum. On the other hand, a company that manufactures the tools will have the ability to advise the end user in making decisions regarding the tools. This AI-driven solution also allows for a structural business model change, moving from a traditional marketing model to a more sustainable one related to servitisation.
