市场动荡迫使装配厂不断调整产品的产量、品种和数量。同时，装配厂的管理者必须保护对柔性装配系统的长期投资。对于可重构性和敏捷性，最好的解决方案是将灵活的自动化和人工技能相结合的模块化半自动方法。它为管理人员提供了通过添加新模块来调整音量或逐步自动化手动任务的可能性。在敏捷装配系统中，物料搬运和信息流的控制是非常重要的。为了保持灵活性，智能托盘的组合，即使用陪护存储器，将单个产品与其他硬件一起携带，提供无纸化生产，甚至支持批量生产。本文展示了如何在总装系统中创建灵活的能力和容量。
Market turbulence forces assembly plants to constantly adjust their production volume of products, variants and quantities. At the same time, assembly plant managers must protect long-term investments in the flexible assembly system. For reconfigurability and agility the best solution is the modular semi-automatic approach by combining flexible automation and human skills. It gives managers possibility to adjust volume by adding new modules or to automate the manual tasks step by step. The control of material handling and information flow in the agile assembly system is important. To keep flexibility, the combination of an intelligent pallet, i.e. use of escort memory, carrying a single product together with other hardware providing paperless production even supports a lot size of one. The article shows how to create flexible capability and capacity in the final assembly systems.
