Optimized robot usage for minimizing the power utilization in automated cabin assembly process

Kurzfassung

Commercial aircraft transport is facing turbulence due to corona lockdown and the impact of such lockdowns are short-term felt, could range for next two-three years. On retaining to normality, the aircraft industry would regain its wings to operate, which continues the impact on environment. The effect of climate change is a long-term issue over next 30-40 years. Due to the rapid growth of commercial aviation, consumption of fuel is directly increased. Phenomenal growth of air trafficking by national and international airliners results in progressive depletion of total carbon space along with alarming increase in emissions level. The term Green Transport stresses on building sustainable economic development without sacrificing the local and global environment. With the mission on zero emissions of carbon and other harmful pollutants, DLR is involved in different research areas such as electric flights, alternate fuels etc. In order to achieve the goal of zero emissions and to make aircraft production sustainable, it is necessary to go green in airplane manufacturing. This work is focusing on green assembly, where we focus ourselves on describing an approach that offers adaptable, automated and customizable process flow along with reliable assembling methodology that provides faster cycle time in conjunction with safety to human workers.
