Title:
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TRANSPORTING WORKPIECE IN MANUFACTURING ENVIRONMENT
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2023070095
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide a method for transporting a workpiece from an initial work cell to a subsequent work cell in a manufacturing environment having a plurality of work cells.SOLUTION: The invention relates to a method for transporting a workpiece (50) from an initial work cell (30a) to a subsequent work cell (30a) in a manufacturing environment (10) having a plurality of work cells (30), where the workpiece (50) is supported by a support beam (110). The method includes monitoring the initial work cell (30a) for satisfaction of a ready-to-move condition, and monitoring the subsequent work cell (30b) for satisfaction of a ready-to-receive condition. When both the ready-to-move condition and the ready-to-receive condition are satisfied, the method includes interfacing the support beam (110) with a gantry (200) and, after the interfacing, moving the support beam (110) with the gantry (200) from the initial work cell (30a) to the subsequent work cell (30b).SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
