Project Overview
In order to improve the monitoring of product quality, one of the world's leading providers of fastening and assembly materials commissioned rosslight to design and implement mobile quality control stations to be deployed across their logistics facilities.
Solution Provided
rosslight has developed a modular system consisting of multiple autonomous units, each is equipped with a local controller. These units continuously collect and transmit data to a centralised remote database for in-depth analysis. In the case of network disruptions, each unit can switch to a local database clone to ensure uninterrupted operation and data integrity.
The system’s uplink not only supports secure data transmission but also includes comprehensive logging and remote access capabilities, allowing for real-time diagnostics and maintenance.
Hardware Architecture:
Two primary stations were engineered:
- Intelligent Scale Station
This station is equipped with an industrial-grade RS232 scale offering precision up to 0.01 g. The station automatically identifies items prior to weighing and performs built-in value validation to ensure accuracy. - Automated Visual Inspection Station
This station utilises a high-resolution endoscope mounted on a linear drive to inspect the internal components of electrical devices, enabling detailed visual analysis.
Both stations were developed and manufactured using the rosslight mechatronics workflow, which incorporates a digital replica of all components and a comprehensive bill of materials directly into the production process. This ensures full traceability of every part used and streamlines quality assurance. Thanks to this digital-first approach, the stations can be replicated at any time in just a few days, enabling rapid scaling and deployment.
Software Architecture:
The stations operate on both the Windows and Linux platforms, and all client-side software is built using the rosslight .NET toolkit. This ensures compatibility across different platforms and simplifies deployment in various environments.
