Structure of product, which is not considered by easy of assembly, has many hidden costs. For reduction of hidden costs, concepts of line balancing and assembly-oriented design are used. We find that part of structure can be improved by concept of line balancing. To reduce assembly time and enhance easy of assembly, design principles are developed by concept of assembly-oriented design. And design principles for improvement are applied according to condition of the grasped parts of product structure. Thersfore, we could design assembly-oriented design for better structure and low cost.

This research deals with multiple Gantry-type assembly machines for the optimization of PCB assembly line. The automated assembly machine has 6 nozzles which can linearly move the X axis and the Y axis different from the turret type assembly machine. Each machine is optimized while considering the whole line balancing of three machines in assembly process simultaneously. Simulation models are developed using AutoMod for comparison study with single machine operation cases under various conditions such as types and total number of components to evaluate the proposed method.

This paper deals with the problem of mixed model assembly line balancing. In mixed model assembly lines, tsks should be assigned to stations in such a manner that all stations have approximately the same amount of work on a production cycle basis. Further in balancing assembly lines, the related tasks, the performing task side and the team tasks should be considered to improve work methods, to give more job satisfaction to workers, and to allow greater flexibility in the design of assembly lines. In this paper, the heuristic dispatch assignment rule is developed to assign evenly tasks of each model to all stations. The heuristic method based on the assignment rule developed is presented for mixed model assembly line balancing with the considerations of the related tasks, the performing task side, and the team tasks. The proposed method is analyzed, and compared with other methods for line balancing.

The improvement of the production capability of multi PCB assembly line can not be simply done by improving the capacities of each assembly robot cells but must be done by controlling the production line effectively with the line host computer which controls over the whole assembly line. A real time production control, a real time model change and a real time trouble shooting compose the specific concepts of this technique. In this paper, we present and analyze the definition and application method of real time assembly concept. The meaning of real time model change, troubles and error sooting and its algorithm will be introduced. Also, the function of the host computer which is in charge of all of many different tasks mentioned above and the method are presented. The improvement of the productivity is mainly focused on the efficiency of multi-PCB production control. The importance of this aspect is gradually increasing, which we have presented the analysis and the solution.

This paper addresses an intelligent robot control system using an off-line programming to teach a precise assembly task of electronic components in a flexible way. The investigated task consists of three job: heat caulking test, soldering on a circuit board, and checking of soldering defects on the back cover of a camera. This study investigates the remodelling of the most complicated cell in terms of the accuracy and fault rate among the twelve cells in a camera back-cover assembly line. We have attempted to enhance back-cover assembly line. We have attempted to enhance soldering quality, to add task flexibility, to reduce failure rate, and to increase product reliability. This study modifies the cell structure, and improves the soldering condition. The developed all system implements the real-time control of assembly with vision data, and realized an easier task teaching on off-line programming.

자동차 조립산업에서는 다양한 제품의 요구사항에 신속히 대응하기 위해 혼합형 모델 조립생산 방식이 널리 활용되어 왔다. 그러나 이 모델은 부품의 혼돈을 유발할 수 있는데, 혼합형 모델 조립라인에서 부품이 물리적으로 뒤바뀔 때 발생하는 조립오류의 원인이 될 수 있다. 최근 RFID와 ZigBee 무선센서네트워크와 같은 새로운 기술을 조립공정에 적용함으로써 이와 같은 생산 시스템에서 IT 인프라를 통한 실시간 정보를 활용할 수 있게 되었다. 본 논문은 혼합형 모델 조립라인에서 조립공정을 위한 RFID와 ZigBee 무선센서네트워크 활용을 제안한다. 먼저, 조립공정에서 정확한 부품을 선택하기 위해, 조립라인 상의 각 칵핏모듈에 RFID 태그를 부착하고, 이러한 태그를 RFID 리더기를 사용하여 스캔한 뒤 차량의 정보를 인식하고, 칵핏모듈의 각 부품은 바코드를 부착하여 바코드 리더기를 사용하여 스캔하여, 해당 부품이 조립될 차량의 칵핏모듈의 정확한 부품임을 확인한다. 다음으로 본 논문은 자동차 회사로부터의 다양한 주문과 신차 모델에 따른 조립라인에서의 공정의 변화와 재구성에 따라 발생하는 RFID 장치들과 IT서버 시스템 사이의 유선통신용 케이블 포설과 불편함을 제거함으로써 조립오류와 비용을 줄일 수 있는 가변구조 혼합형 모델 칵핏모듈 조립생산방식을 위해 ZigBee 무선센서네트워크 기반의 응용을 제안한다. 마지막으로 제안한 방식을 적용한 수년간의 운영 결과를 제시한다.

The assembly line balancing problem has been focused by many research works because the efficient management of the assembly line might influence not only the quality of the products but also the working conditions for the workers. This paper deals with U-shape mixed-model assembly line balancing and considers both the processing time and the physical workloads. We suggest the goal programming approach for this situation and to overcome some difficulties of finding optimal solution, we adopt the genetic algorithm that is one of the most promising solution techniques. We tested several test problems and present the results that indicate some improvement for the line balancing as well as the stable performance of the algorithm.

The efficiency of automated assembly line is increased by realizing the automation of each assembly cell, monitoring the line information and developing the real-time line control system it. which production flow is controllable. In this paper, the several modules which are important factors when constructing automated real-time control system, such as, line control S/W module, real-time model change module, error handling module and line production management S/W module, are developed.

Generally, the assembly system relied on conveyor lines is efficient for mass production. But it is not efficient when the product types are often varying and their lot sizes are small. Especially, it is much inefficient for the assembly lines for the electronic products whose types are varying very often. This paper suggests the design of U-shaped assembly lines to replace the existing conveyor systems. The assembly line for the mini-cassette production is dealt with as a case study. The proposed procedure was successfully applied for the design of U-shaped lines. The developed method resulted in the improvement of the productivity such as the decrease of the man power and the cycle time, and the increase of the line utility.
