Introduction

• The 7th Delta International Smart & Green Manufacturing Contest is themed "Seeking Smart IIoT Talents" and offered three tracks: "Innovative Machines", "Smart Factory", or "Better Future Living".
• Our Team DNS took up the Smart Factory track, we were expected to present realistic solutions or approaches with digitalization, IIoT, and big data management for optimized production processes, high-efficiency management & production, enhanced safety & reliability, quality improvement, energy savings, predictive diagnosis and maintenance, and green solutions.
• The Contest is hosted by the Chinese Association of Automation (CAA) and sponsored by the Chinese Association of Automation, and the Industry and Information Industry Vocational Education Teaching Steering Committee under the Ministry of Education. It is an innovative technology competition for automation, smart manufacturing solutions and green technology applications organized by the Delta Group.

Proposal

• Our Team DNS proposed the Pick Sort Place Bot
• So after researching on some trends and practices currently followed in the packaging industry, we noticed that there were shortcomings in case of:
  • Variable sized item packaging
  • Location based item packaging
  • Custom subscription box based packaging
• And we took to solving that with our proposed idea

Design

The complete mechanical structure is designed in Solidworks2021. Dimensions, assemblies and sub-parts were finalised considering the following:

• Material Strength
• Stress, material and displacement analysis
• Material Availability

Manufactured Product

Raw Frame

Structure with Conveyor Setup

XYZ Gantry Frame

Journey

Algorithms

We are trying to implement a 3D binary packaging algorithm to reduce wastage of space ensuring efficient packaging of input items in output containers.

3D Packaging

Loose Input Items	Close Packaging

Software used

1. Delta's CANopen - To program the PLC Motion Controller. Currently, ladder language was used for programming.
2. DOPsoft - To design and program the Human Machine Interface - HMI.
