Abstract:
Accelerated and more robust ramp-up processes of highly complex automated manufacturing systems based on shorter design cycles are a key demand in the automotive industry. To cope with these market- and/or cost-driven challenges, new solutions for production design and ramp-up processes are required. Thus, a mechatronic-oriented design methodology is introduced, taking the example of the development process of automated manufacturing cells in the automotive body shop. Apart from the presentation of the most important characteristics of the newly developed methodology, its software-technical implementation as well as some practice-relevant introduction aspects are also illustrated.
