Tele-manufacturing™ combines advanced robotics, sensing, control systems, and digital communication to enable remote execution of manufacturing tasks. This approach addresses challenges around skilled labor shortages, physically demanding work, and the need for more flexible industrial processes.
EWI engineers have demonstrated these principles with a tele-polishing system using a FANUC CRX collaborative robot and a Logitech 310 controller. The system allows operators to perform high-precision polishing tasks remotely, maintaining quality and consistency while reducing the need for hands-on engagement with the material.
Key advantages of EWI’s tele-polishing approach include:
- Real-time remote control for precise and consistent operations
- Safer and more ergonomic working conditions for operators
- Accessibility for operators of varied experience levels
- Collection of operational data for in-process quality assurance
- Flexible and adaptable setup for multiple applications and environments
