Coating Robot Program Analysis for Precise Material Prediction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In existing coating systems, coating material is often wasted as the remaining material in cartridges is discarded after coating, leading to increased costs.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device and a robot system that predict the required coating material amount before coating by accessing a control program of a coating robot, acquiring relevant information, and calculating the necessary material amount.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If coating material cartridges are replaced after coating completion, then the coating robot can perform next coating tasks, but the remaining coating material in the cartridges is discarded leading to increased costs
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary calculation of the required coating material amount by analyzing the control program before coating operations begin. This allows the system to prepare the exact amount of coating material needed, avoiding both shortage and excess, thereby preventing waste while ensuring continuous coating tasks can be performed.
2Reliability
If coating material is supplied in excess to ensure sufficient coating, then coating continuity is maintained, but unused material is wasted
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses feedback from the control program analysis to dynamically determine the precise coating material requirements. By continuously monitoring the coating operation parameters and calculating the actual material consumption needs, the system adjusts the material supply to match actual requirements, ensuring coating continuity while eliminating waste from excessive supply.
3Measurement precision
If coating material amount is calculated after coating, then actual consumption is known, but material waste has already occurred
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary calculation of the required coating material amount by analyzing the control program before coating operations begin. This allows the system to prepare the exact amount of coating material needed, avoiding both shortage and excess, thereby preventing waste while ensuring continuous coating tasks can be performed.

AI summary
In an information processing device, a processor is configured to access a control program of a coating robot before the coating robot performs coating, acquire first information that is related to a coating operation of the coating robot and is set in the control program from the control program, and calculate a required coating material amount, which is a coating material amount required for coating by the coating robot, with the first information.
