Summary
In the contemporary industrial landscape, the optimization of assembly processes plays a crucial role in ensuring the efficiency, safety and quality of final products. This thesis focuses on the digitalization of the assembly process of a hyper-compressor for the production of LPDE.
The main innovation of this work lies in the adoption of virtual and augmented reality technology in order to improve the assembly process. This approach aims to improve the efficiency of the process, reduce human errors (and therefore line stoppages and/or injuries) and accelerate worker training.
The thesis has several objectives. First, a detailed analysis of the existing assembly process was conducted, identifying the areas where there is the greatest room for improvement. This process is known as "Bill of Process" (BOP) and allows the creation of storyboards, i.e. documents that implement images and photographs as well as textual instructions, increasing the clarity of the assembly. Furthermore, the assembly work session is implemented thanks to virtual reality, and the advantages and challenges related to the use of this new technology are discussed. Finally, through the creation of the session, it was possible to obtain a video that could be used directly on the line.
The final objective of this thesis is therefore to provide an exhaustive overview of the potential of virtual and augmented reality technology in the optimization of industrial assembly processes, with a specific focus on the assembly of the treated hyper-compressor. It is plausible to hypothesize that the results of this study could have a significant impact in the manufacturing sector, paving the way for new applications and improvements in the assembly of complex components.
