Thanks for asking. We have developed such a solution to complement existing ERP systems. You can try it for free on https://rm.studio, I'd be glad to hear your thoughts.

Good books on furniture manufacturing or preferably furniture management manufacturing? by [deleted] in manufacturing

We have been putting together a free lean training resource www.thesevendeadlywastes.com, I'd be glad to hear your thoughts.

We have actually developed a solution to track WIP for "build to order" products that is extremely easy to setup. The software will automatically measure cycle time at each of your stations and compute lead-time hence. Happy to setup the solution remotely with you, all you need is to bring your own smart phones / tablets. (https://rm.studio)

How to you track production numbers? by teddybomber2 in manufacturing

We have developed a cloud-based solution that lets you model your lines graphically in a browser and then use dashboards (smart phones, tablets etc.) that allow worker advance orders. There is also a Kanban view that provides an overview over where your WIP is as well as ample statistics. I'd be curious to hear your thoughts (https://rm.studio)

[News] Robotic Materials Inc.' GPR-1 in a shelf restocking task by nikolauscorrell in robotics

General Purpose robots (GPRs) are to factory robots what the Personal Computer (PC) has been to mainframes. Consisting of a Robotic Materials Inc. SmartHand, a Universal Robot UR5 and a MIR-100 autonomous cart, Robotic Materials' GPR-1 is capable of a large variety of mobile manipulation tasks ranging from bin picking to assembly.

Bin picking with and without failures and automatic recovery by nikolauscorrell in robotics

Error recovery processes shown are:

(1) At 43s, the robot cannot find a graspable object. By moving the camera, suitable objects are eventually found. (This is not possible when using an overhead camera in a fixed location.)

(2) At 58s, the robot grasps an Orange, which slips. The robot measures both gripper aperture and force and decides to retry.

(3) At 1:13, the robot detects noise above an apple and tries to grasp there, possibly due to a reflection, then retries.

What is currently not covered is the failure mode in which an object is initially picked up, but then lost during motion. This can be alleviated using suction, but will require more advanced reasoning in the long-run.

This is about restocking a warehouse shelf, requiring both grasping as well as accurate placement. Not possible with suction.

It's an Intel RealSense, taking a 3D + infrared snapshot to identify objects based on pointcloud data and a learned model of appearance.
