Abstract
A dynamic, globalized and customer driven market brings opportunities and threats to
companies, depending on the response speed and production strategies. One strategy
is concurrent engineering (CE) that focuses on improving the product development
process, by the consideration of various factors associated with the life cycle of
the product from the early stages. Design for manufacturing (DFM) has proven to be
an effective approach to implement CE concept. Recently, an important DFM concept in
product quality has drawn much attention from both academia and industry. This is
because intense domestic and international competition has put more emphasis on
quality. This study investigates the feasibility of integrating Ethernet-based
vision system and assembly robot for the purpose of remote quality control. The
accuracy and repeatability of the system were tested and verified over the Internet,
prior to the quality inspection. The web-enabled quality check and robotic
operations present many benefits, such as ubiquitous access, remote
control/programming/monitoring capability, and integration of production equipment
into information networks for improved efficiency and product quality within the
framework of CE and DFM.
