Ford’s Advanced Manufacturing Center has created a platform that lets machines from many vendors communicate in the same language and independently manage segments of the manufacturing line. For years, automakers have used robots to save costs and improve efficiency in their production operations. However, Ford’s patent-pending method eliminates a critical bottleneck in the manufacturing process by allowing robots to run 3D printers without human intervention throughout the night. The self-contained system is the first time that Carbon 3D printers and KUKA-built robots can communicate in the same language, opening up a world of possibilities for other machines engaged in the manufacturing process to interact.
