Robotic fleet configuration method for additive manufacturing systems

Fuente: Wipo "digitalization"
A method of configuring robot fleets with additive manufacturing capabilities includes receiving a request for a robotic fleet to perform a job and determining a job definition data structure based on the request. The job definition data structure defines a set of tasks to be performed in furtherance of the job. The method includes determining a provisioning configuration for each additive manufacturing system based on the task to which the additive manufacturing system is assigned, the set of 3D printing requirements, the printing instructions, and the status of the additive manufacturing system. The method includes provisioning the additive manufacturing system based on the provisioning configuration and a set of additive manufacturing system provisioning rules that are accessible to an intelligence layer to ensure that provisioned systems comply with the provisioning rules. The method includes deploying the robotic fleet based on the robotic fleet configuration data structure to perform the job.
