CHALLENGE
Handling and tooling large parts for industrial process in the aeronautical sector as sealing, welding, WAAM … might be time
and specific knowledge demanding. In addition, different tools may be needed for different references of manufactured parts,
which can require high investments.

PROPOSED SOLUTION
The SOFOCLES project proposes a flexible solution using two collaborative robots working in coordination with flexible and
reconfigurable grippers to achieve a robotic cell acting as manipulator placing the part in the different positions necessary to
carry out the desired operations and as tooling keeping the part in position during the operation.

BENEFITS DEVELOPMENTS
• Reduction of the time of positioning and clamping the parts; Using collaborative AURA robots with high payload
• Elimination of errors in the positioning and clamping of the parts in working in coordination and the monitoring of the working

CHALLENGE AND SOLUTIONS

Bicycle production has not changed much over the 100 years and is mainly
performed manually without assisted technologies. It makes it difficult to conform
to modern concepts such as Industry 4.0 and Digital Twins.
“EIT funding helped our consortium to
keep part of the research team and
At the same time population is aging, which leads to the workforce shortage:
continue the project in 2021
“
Europe’s working-age population will likely shrink by 13.5 million (or 4 percent) by
20301. Also, heavy physical work can increase musculoskeletal disorders and other
injuries in the workforce. It increases absenteeism and decreases productivity.
Our focus lies on the worker, whose physical capabilities are enhanced with the
help of assistive technologies and wearable robotics. Thus, we introduce an
industrial exoskeleton within the bicycle assembly line.
MAIN PROJECT RESULTS
TIMING AND MILESTONES
• Sustainable workplaces created
• Ergonomics, level of automation, and processes of the bicycle
assembly line are analyzed. Dec 2020
• Handbook for automation analysis written. Feb 2021
• Improved workplace physical ergonomics
• Lab trials and field trials are conducted. Sep 2021
• Implementation is scheduled, methodology is written. Nov 2021 • Increase in Overall Labor Effectiveness

• The exoskeleton was implemented into the production and

proved to be effective. Dissemination strategy and the business
plan updated. The case is ready to be scaled up. Dec 2021

- collaborative vehicles, able to load and pick objects in the same area where operators

work. One of the safety measures is to keep a low speed for operator protection. So
overall performance of the sorting system is low.
- high speed vehicles, like Fives GENI-Ant, running in confined sorting areas only. This
leads to a higher system performance, but lower application flexibility.
The MARS project aims at offering the best of both worlds: a sorting AGV/AMR able to
run at high speed in a confined zone, but also able to leave the confined zone and move
safely in the same area with operators.

to meet, in a common ground, to successfully accomplish their activities”
Dependency of transports and logistics services are becoming more extreme for manufacturing,
increasing uncertainty and originating higher production costs, decreasing competitiveness.
Collaboration in international supply-chains is still difficult given the high level of different entities,
supporting technologies, different language standards, regulations, lack of information, and time
zones involved, namely in exports settings.

SOLUTION
Developing and piloting a collaborative platform to increase the digital interaction between
industry and logistics stakeholders to ensure competitiveness by applying improved cost
calculation methods and reducing contextual costs by exchanging electronic documents
using international standards and state-of-the-art interoperability mechanisms.
