Criteria Definition for the Identification of HRC Use Cases in Automotive Manufacturing

The study aims at the definition of a methodology for the objective identification of the most suitable applicative use cases for a profitable exploitation of HRC technology. The analysis is based on the preliminary assignment of values to multiple Key Parameters (KPs). The KPs identification is based on a methodological analysis applied to multiple manufacturing cells in production. Core of the process was the identification of the criteria and the KPs. A systematic application of the tool was made to test and fine-tune the developed methodology. Criteria and methodology that were defined in the study are summarized.
