Human Interaction with a Mobile Assembly Table

Process Modeling
1

Hello everybody,

so I am trying to use a human/resource to move my mobile assembly table from on point to another point within the 3d world. The human can interact with the mobile assembly table, since it is a tool resource. So in practice this means, that when I for example have one feeder and one sink the human can use the mobile tabel to move around the can or some other product. But that is not really what I am trying to do here.

I would like the human to move the table from spot A to spot B and leave it there, so a robot can place parts on it. Aftwards, when the robot is finished and sends out a signal to the human the human is suppose to grab the table with the placed parts and move it to an assembly area for further manual assembly steps. After that the table is pushed back to the robot area and is placed in front of the robot, so that the robot can stack more parts on top.

Here is a very rough sketch of what I am trying to do.

If someone can help or knows where to look in the academy for such a case I would be very happy.

You can use the Mission Controller to “Deliver” the tool somewhere.
There is a nice layout in the eCatalog under Layout Templates: “Robot Resource On Trolley” → in the Mission Controller → Mission #2 there is an example of the Collect and Deliver Tool.

Otherwise, what I often do in this kind of scenario is to define the Table as a Product and create it with a Feeder. You can then add some processes where the Table needs to be transported and define your Flow. You can transport products on it by defining it as an assembly, or with the TransportPatternIn + Attach statement.
