The diploma thesis describes a project of upgrading a transport line, called MN2, in a car manufacturing company. Automation of the line was performed by INEA d.o.o.
A request for a transport line updgrade was made due to the need of increased production, which requires better and faster product flow and the possibility of servicing and eliminating faults on the sleds, used for car transport through the production line. The upgrades were made in zones 1 and 3, as they had the most room for extra stations. In zone 1, a storage unit, consisting of 12 roller tables, which were set above the existing ones, was installed, as well as a lifting table A0. In Zone 3, a service area consisting of two additional roller tables, set in parallel with the already existing line and the sliding table C2, has been placed. In the scope of this project, proper control and supervision algorithms were implemented, together with all the necessary safety measures.
The bachelor's degree describes the hardware elements used, the upgrade of the program in STEP7 environment and the expansion of the ODiL environment.
