Model-Based Design Approach for an Industry 4.0 Case Study: A Pick and Place Robot

Abstract

Pick and place robots are frequently used in industry for different applications. This paper presents an implementation of model-based design for a pick and place application as an industry 4.0 case study. A universal robotic arm (UR5) has been used as a set-up, where AutomationML describes the step by step algorithm in performing the objective task. AutomationML is a tool which has been used for documentation of the system decomposition as well as the control sequence of the algorithm. This allows for a better understanding of the system design and control objective.
