Abstract

The level of automation employed in semi-automated assembly systems is crucial, both to system performance and cost. This paper presents a methodology to enable selection of the right Level of Automation. The method thoroughly maps existing product and information flows as well as the automation level in separate parts of the system. It then analyses and identifies future automation possibilities, i.e. the automation potential seen from an industrial perspective. Further development of the method is based on validations and industrial case studies.
