Leveraging Industry 4.0 to Increase Productivity at Boeing

Digitizing manual processes at Boeing

Ubisense presented at the recent PNAA Advance 2020 annual aerospace conference in Lynnwood, WA. Here is a copy of our Chief Product Advocate’s presentation on leveraging industry 4.0 to increase productivity, which received excellent reviews.

SmartSpace & Dimension4

Our SmartSpace platform monitors the physical flow of the factory creating a real-time “digital twin” of the process. This Digital Process Twin provides the deep situational awareness that empowers people to make more insightful decisions, and business systems to operate with foresight and certainty.

The SmartSpace Platform has been built for fast and efficient development of new location-aware applications, allowing anyone configuring SmartSpace to quickly prototype ideas, implement designs and deploy new solutions.

The Dimension4 Location software is a comprehensive package including sensor firmware and server-based software components required to configure, coordinate and manage the Dimension4 RTLS.

A demonstration of Tooling Management configured entirely using standard SmartSpace components.

  • SmartSpace creates a 3D model of your working space
  • This “Digital Twin” detects presence/absence of objects
  • The web map allows objects to be located in real-time
  • Even calibration and maintenance status can be tracked
  • Quality issues can be reported in real-time
  • Assets movements are recorded and stored

Torque Sequence & Error proof Application

A live demonstration of how SmartSpace combines the UWB and optical technologies to create a bolt level accuracy control system.

  • The optical camera attached to the tool can distinguish bolts in the space of millimeters
  • UWB can distinguish if the worker is positioned on the left or right side of the axle
  • An instruction display shows the worker what bolts to tighten depending on which side the worker is positioned
  • The optical camera recognizes if the wrong bolt is selected

By combining UWB ability to pinpoint a component anywhere on a moving assembly line and the optical camera ability to pinpoint the exact bolt within that component, SmartSpace enables true sequence-level torque error-proofing for advanced tightening strategies.

SmartSpace is configured as a kitting application in this demo.

  • Barcode, RFID, Bluetooth Low Energy as a low cost solutions for full parts visibility
  • SmartSpace provides the worker a user interface with instructions
  • The barcode of the kit box is scanned
  • The elements that need to be assembled are displayed on the screen
  • The worker scans the barcode of each element
  • SmartSpace record the process
  • Errors are displayed in real time
  • Moving objects are also tracked when they are delivered at a different workplace station

Electronic Inspection & Error proofing

In this demo, SmarSpace uses visual light communication coupled with the tablet camera to locate an asset.

  • The tablet user interface shows assets based on the worker location
  • In proximity of the asset, the user interface shows only the portion of the asset facing the worker
  • The inspection becomes paperless and more accurate
