Abstract

The paper deals with the possibilities of increasing the efficiency of a robotic cell. The robot assembly station is a part of a multi-robotic workplace capable of performing solitary operations. The complete production cycle of the cell is subjected to a thorough analysis. Deficiencies, having a direct impact on cell efficiency, are identified. These shortcomings include redundant movements of the robotic arm, the absence of an inspection mechanism for the presence of assembly parts, and inefficient instructions of the production cycle algorithm. The identified deficiencies are eliminated using the CIROS simulation tool. The result of the adjustments is a global 11.4% increase in the efficiency of the robotic cell in terms of time performance.
