Eine dynamische Kamerafahrt entlang eines Produktionsprozesses bringt vielfältige Möglichkeiten mit sich, wie z. B. die Betrachtung eines Ziels ohne Abschattung oder Kamerawechsel. Ein Flugroboter mit einer Kamera könnte so eine dynamische Kameraverfolgung ermöglichen. Im Rahmen dieses Beitrags wird die Softwarearchitektur für ein Simulationssystem vorgestellt, das die Grundlage zur Simulation der autonomen Überwachung und Qualitätskontrolle von Produktionsbereichen durch Flugroboter bildet.

The multi-variant small part assembly of terminal strips requires innovative approaches for automated picking and meeting increased product variability demands with increasing process flexibility. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are likely to be used in material supply for small parts and, therefore, replace manual picking of parts that are rarely needed in assembly. An autonomous material supply in the 3^rd dimension could break up fixed assembly processes, reduce picking time and raise the production flexibility. In this article, the share of manual picking time in a real terminal strip assembly line is determined, and UAVs as a potential transport solution for terminals and jumpers are presented.
