AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing methods for precisely positioning components in an assembly line, such as aircraft floors, are inefficient and lack ergonomic solutions for monitoring and adjusting sensor settings during the positioning process.

Method used

An assistance system with a sensor arrangement, data processing unit, display unit, and remote control that detects reference point positions, displays deviations, and allows for ergonomic adjustment of measurement settings using a detachable remote control.

Benefits of technology

Facilitates precise and ergonomic component positioning by allowing real-time deviation monitoring and setting adjustments without requiring personnel to detach the remote control, reducing the risk of damage and improving operational efficiency.

Abstract

An assistance system (100) for positioning a first component (200) relative to a second component (300), comprising: - a sensor arrangement (10) which is configured to detect in a first measurement setting a current position of a first reference point (201) of the first component (200) and in a second measurement setting a current position of a second reference point (202) of the first component (200); - a data processing device (20) connected to the sensor arrangement (10) for communication purposes, which is configured to control the measurement setting of the sensor arrangement (10) and to determine a current first or second position deviation based on the current position of the first or second reference point (201; 202) recorded according to the measurement setting and a target position of the first or second reference point (201; 202); - a display device (30) connected to the data processing device (20) for communication purposes, which is configured to graphically output the current first or second position deviation; and - a remote control (40) with a housing (41) which has a coupling structure (42) for detachable coupling of the remote control (40) to the first component (200), a first control element (43A) and an electronic signal generation circuit (44) included in the housing (41), which is configured to generate an acknowledgment signal in response to an actuation of the first control element (43A) and to send it wirelessly to the data processing device (20); wherein the data processing device (20) is configured to change the selected measurement setting of the sensor arrangement (10) in response to the confirmation signal.
