Abstract

Industry 4.0, and forthcoming 5.0 introduce new process methods that rely on robotic systems to succeed. Small and medium-sized companies (SMEs), which represent 99% share of the UK businesses by 2020, are struggling in adopting robotics in their production and manufacturing processes. Financial risk is the main driver of the low adoption rate of robotics. Therefore, this paper aims to introduce a user-friendly general inspection system with a quick simulated evaluation that defrays the financial risks and in turn could increase the adoption rate of robotic systems in SMEs. In this paper, a general inspection system that utilises a robot and a vision system is proposed and simulated using RoboDK simulation software. As an application example, testing is performed on some mounting holes on the Airbus A320 plane wings
