REAL-M: Booster for a Manufacturing World Where the Component Itself Determines Its Path

➀ The REAL-M project, set to launch on September 25th, aims to revolutionize manufacturing with a flexible production cell. It showcases the potential of multi-robot solutions for medium-sized enterprises. The key concept is teamwork, where robots will collaborate with humans and each other directly rather than through fixed transfer stations. ➁ The REAL-M facility, located in the Chemnitz research factory of Fraunhofer IWU, features a modern, multi-layered control architecture and a digital twin of the multi-robot cell for virtual commissioning. ➂ The REAL-M enables simulations with multiple interacting robots, allowing for realistic testing of production processes and reducing the time from order to production (Time-to-Manufacturing).
