Folding Station #70

Closed mrkrizic closed 3 years ago

mrkrizic commented 3 years ago

A folding station should be able to take a pallet, transform it into a shape (box for example) and then pass it on to the outputstation.

Multiple foldingstations can share the same input and outputstation. A robotic arm can move the pallet from the input station to the correct foldingstation (orderId). For now the folding station worker places the finished part on the output station by himself, after performing a virtual handshake.

To the outside, multiple Inputstations share the same location, this means the turntable can only give the pallet to the inputstation, no matter which folding station is receiving the pallet. The outputstation on the other hand is at a different location whereas the robotic arm is not visible to the outside at all.

Find a way to track orders between IO stations.

Will be used as a standalone component. It can receive a pallet and then fold something. After the folding step is complete, the worker will place the part on an outputstation.

Everything can be seen by the MES.

Hiding information like transport from IO to FoldingStation via TransportUnit will be made internal and controlled by a coordinator.
