fischertechnik 567769 Lernfabrik 4.0, 9V V2 Simulator

The digitally driven change in industrial production requires stronger networking and smarter information at all levels of production. With the fischertechnik Lernfabrik 4.0, these digitization activities can be simulated, learned and applied in miniature before they can be implemented on a large scale. A highly flexible, modular, cost-effective and robust training and simulation model that can be used very sensibly.The fischertechnik learning environment is used for learning and defining industrial 4.0 applications in vocational schools and training as well as for research, teaching and development at universities, in companies and IT departments. The simulation maps the ordering process, the production process and the delivery process in digitized and networked process steps.Factory environmentThis consists of the factory modules for storage and storage, vacuum suction gripper, high-bay warehouse, multi-processing station with kiln, a sorting line with color recognition, an environmental sensor as well as a swivel camera. Once the order has been placed in the dashboard, the workpieces go through the respective factory modules and the current status is immediately visible in the dashboard. The integrated environmental sensor reports values for temperature, air humidity, air pressure and air quality. The camera sees the entire system through the vertical as well as the horizontal swivel range and can thus be used for a web-based remote monitoring.The individual workpieces are tracked by NFC (Near Field Communication): Each workpiece receives a unique identification number (ID). This enables the tracking and visibility of the current status of the workpieces in the machining process.ControlThe Lernfabrik 4.0 is controlled by the fischertechnik TXT 4.0 controller on a 9V basis, six of which are installed. These are connected within the factory according to the master-slave principle and communicate via an internal bus system. The full performance data of the TXT 4.0 controller can be viewed in the TXT 4.0 controller.The software application is written in ROBO Pro Coding or Python and is loaded on the controller ready to start. The current versions of the corresponding programs can be imported directly in the ROBO Pro coding platform via fischertechnik GitLab.The provided ROBO Pro Coding / Python programs can be modified and you can also write your own ROBO Pro Coding / Python programs for the Lernfabrik.Furthermore, a local dashboard is available on the TXT 4.0 controller, using which the factory can be controlled alternatively to the fischertechnik cloud. This implementation can also be modified. Communication between NODE-RED and the program is performed with MQTT. Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) is an open message protocol that enables data to be transmitted in the form of messages between devices.fischertechnik cloudThe TXT 4.0 controller, set as Master, provides the connection to the fischertechnik cloud via WLAN. It is recommended to use the web browser Chrome or Firefox. The cloud can be used via a personal access that is created once (www.fischertechnik-cloud.com). Cloud servers are located in Germany and ensure that data storage is subject to strict European requirements. Personal data is protected in an account with password access that uses the very secure "OAuth2" industry standard. All data sent to the cloud is encrypted with certificates (https standard, green lock in the web browser).DashboardThe dashboard can be accessed and operated via mobile devices such as a tablet or smartphone as well as at the laptop and PC. It enables a display from three different perspectives:- Customer view- Supplier view- Production viewIn the customer's view, a webshop interface with shopping basket is shown, on which one can order a workpiece and track the current status of the order in the shopping basket. This history is displayed on the interface for the customer so that they know the status of their orderThe process for ordering the raw material is displayed and visualized in the supplier view.In the production view, the factory status, the production process, the inventory, the NFC/RFID reader as well as the sensor values can be queried.In addition, the camera that monitors the production line can also be controlled here. All these functions are controlled within a window and switched via the menu.In the factory status, the status of the respective module is visualized using a traffic light display. If a fault occurs in production, it is acknowledged via a button after the cause has been corrected and production continues. In the Production Process view, the individual production steps are visually simplified by connected nodes. The active node (=production module) lights up green or red when the respective process step is being processed live or an error is present and is waiting for resolution.The production view inventory shows the current stock level of the workpieces including minimum and maximum stock. An order point procedure is stored. This production view is for visualization only. The production view of the NFC/RFID reader shows the data of the workpiece and can be used to manually read or delete workpieces. The raw data of the NFC tags can be read from mobile devices with NFC readers using a standard NFC app. Each workpiece has its own unique ID and displays the following data: Status, color and time stamp from delivery to dispatch. The camera is also controlled via the production view and the values of the environmental sensor can also be seen here.
