System of systems moving car Boomerang to the Elliott Museum.Machines - specifically, the venerable model truck A Ford - subject of a new exhibition in a Museum in Florida high range. But it is the technology behind the screen, and above and around it, which steals the show.
Robots are part of the process of carmaking for decades; now they are the shuttle vehicles backwards and forwards, from top to bottom and side to side inside a high-tech, multilevel garage integrated into the Elliott Museum in Stuart, Florida
Notwithstanding the Fords in the collection - was donated to the Museum anonymously - the stack of three floors, transparent, designed and built by the New Jersey Boomerang Systems Company, is something of a museum piece itself.
Software and hardware automation move the vehicles, which are placed on slabs of concrete, through a series of rails, or "Guide automated vehicles that have been used in plants of car for the last 40 years," said Woody Nash, who is Director of business development of Boomerang.
An essential part of the system, said Mr. Nash, is its ability to "roads", so if there's a robot disabled in the middle of the garage, we can actually make their way around the robot." The idea is to keep the display moving by the rotation of vehicles, the garage has a capacity of 55 - on a stage at the lower floor, where multimedia displays inform visitors about the history of his time, with clips of songs, movies, fashion, sports and other aspects of life at the time the truck was in use.
The exhibition, called "Wheels of change", opens this weekend. The trucks include an early United Parcel Service delivery truck and a pickup with folding and a removable windscreen that allowed him to pass under the lemon trees during harvest time in South Florida. There are other cars as well, including the mandatory Chevrolet Corvette, in this case a 1954 model.
Mr Nash said that any particular truck or car in the garage could be located and filed in the plate in about 90 seconds.
Here's how the Museum's Web site describes the experience:
"Robotic stacking system, three floors of this exhibit will allow visitors to select one of these 55 vehicles for a closer view and then watch as it moves from its storage location on a custom Platinum. Travel of the vehicle to the turntable will be strengthened by a multimedia presentation. The custom turntable and then turn the vehicle look a visitor experience. »
Mr. Nash stated that he could not specify the cost of the Boomerang system; It is part of a 20 million renovation $ Museum, which is located on the coast East of Florida, near Port St. Lucie.
Mr. Nash has said it has no plans to build a plant similar to New York, dominated by archaic garages employing valets instead of robots to the shuttle cars. "Manhattan is not a priority for us, because they discourage parking," says. "The suburbs, real estate developments, are the really rich market for us."
