Modern production facilities have to support on demand product customization to satisfy customer needs. One key technology to make this happen are Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs). These are mobile transport robots, which distribute raw materials and parts on the factory shop floor and potentially among different manufacturing halls and warehouses. The navigation of the AGVs on the factory shop floor or in outdoor areas is a computationally complex task requiring significant computing resources. Cloud-based AGV navigation enables cooperation and centralized information exchange between multiple robots and AGVs.

As the number and variation of AGVs within a production facility site increases, so does the complexity of their control, for guaranteeing a seamless and orchestrated operation.

The development of the proof of concept "Visual inspection for automatic quality assessment PoC" started in May 2023 and was successfully finished in November 2023. Several goals have been set:

  • implementation of a PON based industrial Edge/Cloud-based; and
  • visual inspection for quality assessment of products and to demonstrate a low-latency ML‑based video processing-pipeline for end-to-end manufacturing control loop.
