In order to meet the customer's requirements for flexibility, reliability and optimized utilization, the possibilities of a matrix assembly were optimally designed for the assembly of the robot arm component central hand. In this assembly system, modular standardized stations are networked and flexibly linked depending on the product variant, utilization and desired output.
Assembly planning: structured structure of the assembly task
Cell concept: standardized workstation, specialized by the equipment components
Matrix concept: requirements for intelligent control of the system
Implementation concept: 2D layout planning and functional specification for implementation
With this project, our customer received a plan including a budget estimate and an analysis of the implementation options for matrix assembly in his factory. On this basis, a well-founded assessment of the economic efficiency has become possible.
With the resulting specification, the services can be requested directly from the system supplier and a comparability of the offers can be ensured.
In this project, our customer benefited from our interdisciplinary project team, many years of planning experience and the transfer of research findings to real applications.
The core of a matrix assembly is based on standardized and categorized assembly cells. All cells are equipped with identical equipment and basic functionalities. These can theoretically be reproduced, arranged and networked as desired - depending on the required capacities.
Logistics and assembly are decoupled from each other in matrix assembly so that the cell selection can be made flexibly. The components and materials are transported flexibly, possibly with the help of driverless transport vehicles.

The aim of designing the assembly system in this specific project was to increase the overall economic efficiency of central manual assembly and at the same time to meet the challenge of a daily changing product mix and fluctuating quantities.
The requirements for the assembly system are:
Reduction of throughput times
Creation of higher area productivity
Improvement of the utilization of resources
The desire for an assembly system as a matrix was based on the following properties:
Scalable and standardized workplaces
Flexibility and adaptability with regard to new variants and types
