Efficient development of Human Machine Interface for 3D measurement system

Abstract

In the manufacturing industry, it is an ideal to make the product in high manufacturing accuracy which does not need to inspect, and the inspection and the measurement are the processes to omit if possible. But in fact, the inspection and the measurement processes are performed for various reasons, such as to secure the product traceability, to visualize the quality of production and to discover the aging of a manufacturing system at an early stage. We had developed 3D measurement system aiming at full automation, and we enabled the onetouch operation with no experts. This system was presented in CMSC 2010. At the development of this system, we built various recovery functions into the system by the premise that all processed do not work as the designer assumed. There is also a request of the semi automatic measurement system by which an operator intervenes for the reason to reduce the initial cost. We have developed such a system which requires the operator’s intervention. In the development of such a system, we need the system design which human also considered to be one component of a system and we need to clarify the division of roles between a system and human. The system is also required the flexibility because the division of roles would change with progress of time. The following things have been taken into consideration when developing.
