Obiettivo
The objective of this project was to demonstrate the feasibility of holographic labelling techniques for automatic identification in a computerised industrial environment.
In modern automated and computer integrated practice, the material logistics in the workshop become ever more important. In this context the automatic identification system plays a fundamental role in the control and management of the material flow by allowing the correct and prompt distribution of the relevant material information within the production process. This demonstration system is based on tags carrying computer generated holograms. The industrial manufacturing test bed associated with the project is described and an outline is given of the integration of the new identification system in an already existing computer integrated manufacture (CIM) environment. The holographics identification system is adaptable to different requirements and includes the following favourable features: high data capacity; low cost tags; fast and reliable read out and positioning tolerance. In HIDCIM the application of this new technology in tool identification for machining centers has been explored, but there are also other possible applications, for example, assembly lines with mixed products where each basic part has a tag with the necessary information for the different parts to be assembled.
The objective of this project was to demonstrate the feasibility of holographic labelling techniques for automatic identification in a computerized industrial environment. A system based on holographic labels will have the following advantages: large data capacity; immunity to electrical, mechanical and chemical interference; simple low cost read out; wide range of reading distances; and simple, small low cost labels.
The program included the following tasks: development of holographic storage techniques, providing redundancy and permitting movement of the image and long distance readout; assessment of a low cost label material, suitable for large scale production, easy to handle, and able to withstand an industrial environment; development of the hologon disk of a write station with the ability to generate holograms; development of a read station with the ability to recognise a label, reconstruct the stored holographic pattern and decode it; and simulation of the information path from pattern generation via holographic decoding, reconstruction, interpretation and recovery of the original contents.
