The MASTERLY project partners are working on the transition from research and development to the implementation phase in industrial environments.

MASTERLY solution: Semi-automated approach. Mobile robots handle intra-shopfloor logistics, ensuring that components arrive at the right place and time. A custom robotic gripper allows machines to pick up and manipulate different types of components, while AI-powered vision systems identify each part and determine its orientation inside storage boxes. Collaborative robots then assist operators by precisely positioning components in the cabinet, reducing physical strain and minimizing errors. Human-robot collaboration is further enhanced with augmented reality (AR) applications, which let operators easily program robot movements and stay informed about task assignments. Safety is secured through body-tracking sensors that detect human presence and intentions, allowing robots to adapt their movements and avoid collisions.

This set up is transforming KLEEMANN’s assembly process into one that is safer, more flexible, and more efficient, while keeping human operators at the center of production.

MASTERLY solution: Automated picking approach. An AI vision system accurately detects each item and its orientation inside warehouse bins. A flexible gripper then adapts to the product – using suction cups for rigid surfaces and parallel fingers for softer materials like textiles. A workflow controller ensures smooth coordination between conveyors, robotic stations, and manual inputs, keeping the process efficient and continuous.

This setup reduces heavy, repetitive work for operators while increasing speed and accuracy in order preparation. Errors are minimized, physical strain is reduced, and productivity is boosted. Above all, the MASTERLY solution keeps human operators at the center, enabling safer and more efficient logistics operations.

MASTERLY solution: Semi-automated assembly approach. A smart crane with sensors and anti-swing control safely transports large metallic panels, mapping the area and avoiding collisions. A computer vision-guided gripper then performs precise movements to align each panel in its final position on the aircraft frame. Augmented reality (AR) tools and advanced mechatronics support operators, while automated calculations and force monitoring guarantee accuracy and safety. This setup improves positioning accuracy, reduces risks of misalignment, and eases operator workload. Errors are minimized, physical strain is reduced, and assembly becomes more efficient. Above all, the MASTERLY solution keeps human operators at the center, enabling safer and more effective aerospace manufacturing.
