Production Line Automation Project for Art Printing

About the Project

Blank paper goes in. 16-bit pixel art comes out.

A FANUC industrial robot draws each piece dot by dot, from Poké Balls to cherries. An OMRON Microhawk camera then inspects every print against its spec, and a collaborative robot sorts the finished art. A PLC ties the whole line together, timing the drawing robot, the cobot, the conveyor and the storage so each print flows from blank page to shelf without stopping.

We modelled the process in BPMN, simulated the robots in ROBOGUIDE and URSim, and tuned every station for speed and accuracy using LEAN methods.
