In A4BLUE (RWTH use case) we are developing an autonomous tool trolley to support workers in performing their assembly tasks which already reacts to human gestures and follows the worker on command in a test environment. Don’t you believe us? Watch this video! As a next step, the tool trolley will be connected into the A4BLUE Cloud Framework and therefore the operator will be able to move it to specific …Read More

Watch the video on IK4-TEKNIKER use case!
The last video on A4BLUE use case scenarios is now available! This video shows you the use case scenario implemented at IK4-TEKNIKER, the coordinator of A4BLUE project. The scenario at IK4-TEKNIKER is the collaborative assembly of a latch valve in a fenceless environment, including auxiliary activities as initial preparation activities, final inspection and transport of the completed part to the warehouse. The scenario is aligned with the need for incorporating …Read More
The video on RWTH scenario is out!
A new video about the A4BLUE use cases is available! This video shows you the RWTH Aachen University use case developped in collaboration with the partner Illogic. Within the RWTH use case the A4BLUE solution will be applied to enhance the assembly of electric vehicle prototypes. During complex operations like the assembly of the safety critical brake pedal and the rear light, the worker will be assisted with augmented reality for …Read More
Watch the video of our AIRBUS use case scenario!
For the Airbus scenario, A4BLUE will provide a fully traceable quality process improvement for a specific set of assembly personnel including operators, quality supervisors, manufacturing engineers, and process planners. This will be done by introducing a new intelligent system for bolt tightening in hydraulic assembly, involving a Smart Torque Wrench (jointly developed between Airbus and SamOutillage) connected with an Augmented Reality Device (Hololens). The AR device will present information based …Read More
