V Domel d.o.o. smo v 2016 izvedli delno postavitev novega diagnostičnega sistema za končno kontrolo elektronsko komutiranih motorjev (tip 771). Sistem je bil narejen po vzoru diagnostičnih sistemov na starejših montažnih linijah. Kljub temu, da je šlo za podoben sistem, je bilo pri implementaciji sistema narejenih veliko inovacij na področju elektro-mehanskih komponent in programske opreme (Slika 4). Nova končna kontrola tako omogoča diagnostiko motorjev dveh konstrukcijsko zelo različnih motorjev, kjer ima en tip motorja že vgrajen krmilnik, kar še dodatno poveča kompleksnost manipulatorjev in elektronskih komponent linije. S stališča programske opreme pa je bil narejen poudarek na prenosu informacij s proizvodne linije v skladu s trendom Industry 4.0 (iIOT – Industrial Internet Of Things). Tako ima večina komponent in senzorjev svoj IP-naslov in lahko komunicira z ERP- sistemom v podjetju. Zagon linije je predviden v začetku 2017.

Members of the project team contributed to the realisation of an adaptive assembly line in manufacturing of various types of blowers. The line is able to adapt to the changing production plans, to accommodated adequate end tests and entire characterisation of the products. The design complies with the concepts of Industry 4.0, which allows for full integration of the monitoring and control system in the enterprise information system.
F.09 Development of a new technological process or technology
In September 2016 prof. dr. Mitjan Kalin, as conference chair, organised the second international conference on polymer tribology – POLYTRIB 2016. The newly established international conference was well attended even in its first year, 2014, as it was attended by more than 70 experts from more than 20 countries, while over 50 % of participants came from industrial circles. The great amount of interest in this field is the result of current needs in the transporation industry, where tribological contacts function without lubrication or are combined with new, innovative materials. Polymeric materials play an important role in this field and Slovenia has a strong automobile industry, which is actively involved in further development of such contacts. Consequently, the POLYTRIB conference was organised again in September 2016 by prof. dr. Mitjan Kalin, even more successfully and recording even better participation. Prof. Kalin is otherwise acitvely engaged in almost all conferences he attends, i.e. as section chair, organising or scientific commitee member etc.
