Important results from the project
The purpose of this project was to evaluate the degree to which automatic shape control based on a dedicated photogrammetry system can be installed in existing production environments and deliver reliable measurement results. The long-term goal was to enable universal control, which in itself would generate new opportunities to individualize production and control the production system in real time. Within this project, we have shown that this is possible. The system we have worked with is reliable and delivers measurement results of selected control points almost in real time.
Expected long term effects
1) The system we have worked with has been adapted to existing production environments and delivers automatic measurement results in close to real time. 2) The technology is estimated at the end of the project to be at TRL7. 3) We have founded a company, Viospatia, for commercializing the technology. 4) At present, one component is checked every 10 seconds. 5) The extent to which operator-bound time for measurements can be reduced has not been investigated. 6) The measurement series we have been able to carry out have been too short for quantitative statements about outcomes.
Approach and implementation
The basic idea in this project was that a larger part of the practical work would be carried out in the companies with practical work with the systems and thereby create a feeling for what is possible and not. This quickly turned out to be a naive ambition as a much larger part of the project was used to fix problems that were continuously discovered in the industrial tests that were carried out at the expense of time out in the industry. In the end, the result was still good, which is largely due to the flexibility of the participating parties.
