The Concept of Smart Hydraulic Press

摘要

With the development and application of cyber-physical systems (CPS) in Smart manufacturing, a broad spectrum of possible improvements has emerged, thereby a big step forward can be made in hydraulic systems. This paper presents an approach for implementing artificial intelligence (AI) in the concept of smart hydraulic press with regard to 14.0 technology. Conceptual solutions for greater system flexibility and improved blanket formability focus on designing a suitable concept for cyber-physical systems in combination with the digital twin. The main challenge is to develop a suitable AI-based algorithm in the manufacturing execution system (MES) so that the system is able to improve the forming process and avoid disturbances in real time. The concept of visualization and data analysis based on real-time monitoring of parameters of a smart hydraulic press is presented. With a continuous quality control of the products a more sophisticated system can be achieved. The main advantage to take into account in terms of hydraulics and Manufacturing as a Service (MaaS) are the new trends in energy efficiency of the systems and rapid automatic tool exchange.
