AGILEHAND is a Research and Innovation Action project under Horizon Europe framework under topic HORIZON-CL4-2022-TWIN-TRANSITION-01-04 - Intelligent work piece handling in a full production line (Made in Europe Partnership).
AGILEHAND started on January 1, 2023, and will last for 3 years.
Responsible:
Francisco Blanes
Goals
AGILEHAND aims at developing advanced technologies for grading, handling and packaging autonomously soft and deformable products, as a strategic instrument to improve flexibility, agility and reconfigurability of production and logistic systems of the European manufacturing companies.
The main objectives of the AGILEHAND project are:
- To Improve GRADING aspect, i.e., knowledge of the workpiece’s characteristics and condition. The main gains will be a cost effective, accurate and fast solution to finely grade the quality of delicate and perishable products
- To improve HANDLING aspect of soft and deformable products during the Sorting, Handling and Packaging stages. The project addresses the problems of robotic manipulation in a more human-oriented environment, where objects are diverse, deformable, and delicate.
- To improve AGILITY, FLEXIBILITY and RECONFIGURABILITY aspects. Monitoring, adaptive control and synchronization of production and logistics flows in a factory, even when faced with a variability of products, production mix or fresh market, guaranteeing high performance in customer response time, and an efficient use of resources.
