Abstract

A discrepancy exists in the number of installed robot systems as compared to the number of potential applications. The restrictions of potential users in the seventies can be partially explained by the imperfect technology of the equipment and the minimal knowledge of first users with regard to robot integration into installed systems. Almost half of all installed robots are applied in the areas of spot and arc welding operations in the automotive industry. Due to the expected market saturation, robot manufacturers have to develop new applications for their products. These applications can be discovered through an analysis of the interdependencies between the requirements of respective tasks and the potential of new technologies. A systematic planning process is indispensable for a successful implementation.
