Computer Integrated Manufacturing Industry 4.0 System QualiFF03
Computer Integrated Manufacturing (Computer Integrated Manufacturing) Industry 4.0 System, QualiFF03, uses actual industrial hardware and full-size equipment across an end-to-end manufacturing line to produce real products.
The system includes an industrial conveyor linking workstations, a six-axis robot, 5-axis milling, lathe machining, a 3D warehouse, AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles), visual inspection, Industry 4.0 sensors, networking, and integration.
Smart sensors provide real-time status updates, while a multi-tiered Ethernet and IIoT network enable central management, cloud connectivity, and integrated data analysis.
Through the Computer Integrated Manufacturing project, students gain hands-on experience with a fully simulated Computer Integrated Manufacturing system, learning all aspects of the production cycle.
Industry 4.0 Manufacturing for Education
The Computer Integrated Manufacturing 4.0 manufacturing demonstration line offers a training program integrated with Industry 4.0 technologies to teach students not only how these components work individually but also how they interact seamlessly. Focused on advanced manufacturing technologies and their integration to create automated systems, the platform provides an ideal setting for exploring Industry 4.0 skills such as advanced communication, the Internet of Things (IoT), data analytics, and automation.
We are committed to providing cutting-edge training solutions for Industry 4.0 by enhancing skill development and introducing new areas of study tailored to Industry 4.0 advancements.
Industry 4.0 introduces advanced technologies and capabilities that elevate automated manufacturing to new heights. By collecting information and analyzing data, it enables predictive maintenance, flexible manufacturing, and optimized factory efficiency.
Computer Integrated Manufacturing 4.0 is a fully integrated, end-to-end manufacturing process that uses real industrial equipment to produce real products. The system incorporates all the key components of state-of-the-art Industry 4.0 factories and serves as a hands-on training platform for students of all levels, covering both manufacturing processes and Industry 4.0 concepts.
Through the Computer Integrated Manufacturing project, students work with a fully simulated industrial Computer Integrated Manufacturing, learning every aspect of the production cycle from customer orders and inventory control to the automated manufacturing of materials into finished products, quality inspection, and final delivery. Students set up and operate Computer Integrated Manufacturing cells and gain practical experience with mass production processes. The system utilizes real industrial hardware, including an industrial conveyor system linking workstations, six-axis robots, 3-axis CNC milling, CNC lathe machining, ASRS (Automated Storage and Retrieval System), AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles), visual inspection, Industry 4.0 sensors, networking, and integration. The full-size equipment, from end to end, produces real products.
Our Industry 4.0 education solutions are modular and flexible, designed to train students in the principles and technologies of computer-integrated manufacturing.
 | Six-Axis Robot The floor-mounted six-axis robot is designed to load and unload parts to and from the Computer Integrated Manufacturing conveyor. It handles tasks such as loading and unloading CNC milling parts, CNC lathe turning parts, routing, and managing AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles), among other functions. |
 | Automated Storage & Retrieval System (ASRS) The ASRS includes a dedicated four-axis robot that transfers parts between storage cells and conveyor pallets. Controlled and monitored from a central management console, the ASRS can integrate RFID and other inventory and location tracking technologies for enhanced efficiency and accuracy. |
 | AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) The Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) is responsible for loading and unloading parts to and from the Automated Storage & Retrieval System (ASRS). It offers two navigation options: laser-guided and magnetic navigation, providing flexibility and precision in its operations. |
 | Industrial Conveyor System Linking Workstations The closed-loop conveyor system transports pallets carrying part templates (holders) between workstations. Robots and manipulators load and unload the pallets at each station, ensuring smooth, automated movement of materials throughout the process. |
 | Small CNC Lathe Machining The robot loads parts from the conveyor to the small CNC lathe, capable of machining a variety of materials such as aluminum, brass, plastic, wood, composite, and wax. Once machining is complete, the lathe door opens, and the robot unloads the part, transferring it to the next station. |
 | Small CNC Center Machining The 3-axis CNC center automatically opens its door as the robot loads parts from the previous station. Capable of machining materials such as aluminum, brass, plastic, wood, composite, and wax, the CNC center completes the machining process, and once finished, the door opens automatically. The robot then unloads the part and transfers it to the next station. |
Computer Integrated Manufacturing 4.0 represents the latest generation of Computer Integrated Manufacturing systems designed for educational institutions focused on advanced training. This system has been enhanced with a variety of upgrades to ensure that both the components and content are fully Industry 4.0-ready. Students will learn to install, operate, and utilize these new capabilities, mirroring the process of upgrading an existing production line.
At the heart of the solution is the Computer Integrated Manufacturing Industry 4.0 System, a full-size manufacturing production line equipped with stations designed to manufacture parts from raw materials, assemble products, and test them for quality control compliance. Customizable to meet your specific needs, the system offers bespoke design, modularity, and expandability. Each station is configurable and supports third-party components, providing maximum flexibility.
This adaptable model can be tailored to include more or fewer stations depending on the school’s requirements and the specific training program. It offers students hands-on experience in both traditional manufacturing and the new skills essential for Industry 4.0, ensuring they are well-prepared for real-world industry demands.
