Definitions
- Mobile communication device and machine tool that can be controlled with the mobile communication device
- the invention relates to a machine tool arrangement with a machine tool and a mobile communication device for controlling the machine tool.
- US 2018/129181 A1 discloses a chatbot for communicating with a production machine and for controlling the production machine.
- EP 3 528 242 A1 discloses a dialogue system between a human and a machine.
- the object of the invention is to provide a machine tool arrangement with a machine tool that can be controlled significantly better by remote maintenance. It is also the object of the invention to provide a mobile communication device for such a machine tool arrangement.
- the object is thus achieved by a machine tool arrangement with a machine tool, a sensor device for monitoring the machine tool, a control arrangement for controlling the machine tool and a mobile communication device, the control arrangement being connectable to the mobile communication device via a network connection.
- the mobile communication device has an application (“Application”; "App”), with which data from the sensor device can be displayed on the mobile communication device.
- the control arrangement is designed to control the machine tool using data received from the mobile communication device.
- the application is designed to use the mobile communication device with at least one further application of a further mobile communication device of the machine tool arrangement to exchange data, in particular in the form of a chat, with the data of the sensor device also being able to be displayed in the further application via the network connection to control data
- the application and the further application can be designed in the same way.
- a machine tool can be at least partially controlled with a mobile communication device and/or another mobile communication device, with the users being able to assess the state of the machine tool on their respective mobile communication device using the data provided by the sensor device.
- Several users can agree on their approach. As a result, a high utilization of the machine tool can be achieved even in unmanned shifts.
- the machine tool is preferably designed in the form of a machine tool for sheet metal processing, in particular in the form of a laser cutting machine.
- the sensor device has at least one camera, preferably a plurality of cameras. This allows users to quickly get a meaningful impression of the condition of the machine tool.
- the control arrangement is structurally particularly simple if it is a computer, in particular in the form of an industrial computer, preferably in Form of a single-board computer, in particular in the form of an Industrial Raspberry Pi.
- the control arrangement can have a router, in particular in the form of an LTE router, WLAN and/or a network cable for the network connection.
- the mobile communication devices can each be designed in the form of a smartphone, laptop, notebook or tablet computer in order to make it easier to use and to increase the availability of the mobile communication devices for the users.
- the mobile communication devices can be designed to transmit their location to the control arrangement, for example using GPS, mobile radio, WLAN and/or iGPS.
- the control arrangement can be designed to only contact the mobile communication devices that are in the vicinity of the machine tool in a first step.
- the control arrangement can also be designed to contact further mobile communication devices only after a predetermined dead time.
- the control arrangement can have a chatbot, i.e. a text-based dialog system, in order to facilitate the communication of the users with the control arrangement.
- a chatbot i.e. a text-based dialog system
- the chatbot can be designed to set up a permanent bidirectional communication exchange. In contrast to e-mail or SMS solutions (“fire and forget”), this enables receipt control on both sides (control arrangement and applications). More preferably, the chatbot has a watchdog to ensure machine availability and functionality of the entire communication path from end to end User commands that go nowhere can be reported back, for example with the message "Command could not be executed”. The watchdog can be designed to deliver ad hoc messages, for example via push notifications, and to indicate a communication breakdown or machine standstill. User-friendliness is further increased if the application(s) is/are designed to display a rating, with the rating reflecting the condition of the machine tool or a recommendation for further action.
- the users can get a more precise picture of the state of the machine tool if the control arrangement is designed to transmit data from the machine tool to the application(s) via the network connection.
- This data from the machine tool can include sensor data and/or control data from the machine tool.
- the control arrangement particularly preferably has a filter in order to recognize specific configurations of the sensor device and to transmit these to the application(s) of the communication device. In this way, faulty states of the machine tool can be detected by the filter, in particular automatically, and the data measured by the sensor device can then be transmitted to the application(s).
- the control arrangement can be set up to transmit the data from the sensor device to the application(s) when the control arrangement uses other sensor data and/or control data to detect a faulty state of the machine tool, in particular that the machine tool is at a standstill.
- the control arrangement can have a storage unit for storing the data from the sensor device and/or the data from the machine tool (for example sensor data).
- the control arrangement can also have an evaluation unit for evaluating the stored data in order to transmit a recommendation for further action based on the evaluation to the application(s). In this case, the control arrangement can already make a suggestion for the user's decision.
- the evaluation unit can have artificial intelligence, in particular in the form of a neural network, in order to create a precise assessment.
- the evaluation unit can be designed to improve itself further by means of machine learning.
- the storage unit and/or the evaluation unit can be configured on a local server or PC and/or cloud-based in order to be able to access the experiences of multiple users, so that a significantly more precise evaluation can be created.
