Development of Worker’s Nonstandard Motion Detection System in Cell Production Line
Kazuki Nishida, Hiroomi Onda · Transactions of the Institute of Systems Control and Information Engineers · 2020
In this paper, we propose a method to detect workers’ nonstandard motion in cell production lines. Our method consists of three features: (1) sensing motion of a person, (2) measuring the time of motion by using Dynamic Time Warping and (3) analysis of the motion time. We applied the method to a prototype cell production line in our factory and verified its effectiveness. In an interview with Industrial Engineer, we have confirmed that our system has the potential to reduce the time taken for discovering nonstandard motion from 10 hours to 2.5 hours. From the above, we conclude that our method can enhance the efficiency of cell production line improvement.
