Production-Oriented Robotic Simulator (SIROP)
Digital Systems
Themes
The Production-Oriented Robotic Simulator (SIROP) platform is a multidisciplinary system dedicated to automation, robotics, flow management and other fields in a shared setting: a mini production plant.
This platform bridges the gap between education, research and industrial work in these fields, while also offering a vocational training tool.
This platform can be combined with its digital twin to generate data in predefined or dynamic scenarios with user interactions, in parallel with the real system or at an accelerated pace.
Areas of application
Industrial automation
Automated systems, communication protocols, instrumentationion
- Analyse complex systems and implement control strategies
- stablish communication between industrial hardware and software tools
- Consideration of human-machine interactions in the context of safe production
- Control of the data acquisition and organisation chain
Industrial supervision
Human-machine interactions, process control, relevance of information
- Control interface and control of complex systems
- Data analysis and studies on the relevance of information for the operator
- Management of security criteria (e.g. hardware, human, data) in sensitive production environments (e.g. chemicals, pharmaceuticals)
- Design of network architectures for exchanges in the context of production
Robotics
Ex-post collaboration on systems, optimisation, collaboration with humans
- Optimise robot control trajectories and strategies
