Multi-Modal Assembly- Support System for Cellular Manufacturing

چکیده
Cellular manufacturing meets the diversified production and quantity requirements flexibly. However, its efficiency mainly depends on the operators’ working performance. In order to improve its efficiency, an effective assembly-support system should be developed to assist operators during the assembly process. In this chapter, a multi-modal assembly-support system (MASS) was proposed, which aims to support operators from both information and physical aspects. To protect operators in MASS system, five main safety designs as both hardware and control levels were also discussed. With the information and physical support from the MASS system, the assembly complexity and burden to the assembly operators are reduced. To evaluate the effect of MASS, a group of operators were required to execute a cable harness task. From the experimental results, it can be concluded that by using this system, the operators’ assembly performance is improved and their mental work load is reduced. Consequently the efficiency of the cellular manufacturing is improved.
