Abstract [en]
The trend in manufacturing is towards increased automation. This in combination with more customized products challenge the production systems to manage assembly of high mix in low volume (HMLV). The industry constantly explores innovative solutions to deal with this task in a more efficient way. This is a literature review over the role of automation whereby it can streamline assembly complexities of high mix in low volume productions. The paper explores how automation-based solutions within the assembly process could assist product customization efforts in the mid-sized segment.
