In an automotive factory, empty small load carriers are collected and cleaned at a central point, where they are then sorted according to size, type and design. A sorting line that can hold the large quantities of small load carriers and react to the different throughputs is now required.

A production line requires an infeed conveyor for assembly stations. The workers process the products continuously. In order to achieve the required throughput, several assembly stations are built next to each other. As a result, the belt conveyor has to be particularly long.

An automotive supplier is building a complete new production line for assembling seats and benches. Various production steps are required, such as feeding the upholstery and assembling the seat occupancy sensor and seat heating system.

An automobile manufacturer wants to optimise the picking of orders in the manual spare parts warehouse. Therefore, a material trolley is required that is very compact and can hold up to 5 transport boxes.

An automotive supplier requires frames in order to perform comprehensive pressure, heat and emission tests on fuel tanks and for storing these tanks. The frames are to be used to install the tanks just like in an actual vehicle. The aim is to simulate the installation situation as realistically as…

An automotive supplier required a transport system with a height-adjustable workbench that could be used to separate and test components. The workpieces were round with various diameters and were placed on the conveyor system by robots in twenty-second cycles.

Assignment
An extraction and separation technology manufacturer that produces analysis devices is looking for a number of assembly lines to equip a new production hall. Each line is to have ten workstations each, on which the operators are to assemble and test the analysis units. The workstations…

Task
Bottles need to be discharged in a bottling line for consumer goods. They must be briefly buffered on the conveyor before they are manually processed. Work surfaces directly on the conveyor were required to allow workers to pack the bottles into boxes.

Task
Workbenches are required for assembling wireless mobile phone charging cradles for vehicles. Each work step of the assembly process, including the final inspection, is performed on the workbenches. The workbenches must therefore be individually adapted to the respective work steps. Furthermore,…

Problem definition
The mounting process for sensor units for fertiliser spreaders needs to be optimised. Currently, the process is a slow and error-prone one in which a worker manually carries the individual components from station to station, where they are mounted and pressed. To streamline the…
