TOWARDS EQUIPPING AN ASSEMBLY LINE WITH INDUSTRY 4.0 CONCEPT ELEMENTS IN LABORATORY ENVIRONMENT

Recent advances in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), together with concept of Cyber-Psychical System (CPS) that enables the concept Industry 4.0, forced manufacturers even more to adapt their production flexibility to turbulent global market. Production in high- volume batches is replaced with high-mix/low- volume production, which demands excessive information flow throughout production facilities. Following balancing process of an assembly line reported in this article, a concept for industry 4.0 elements implementation in order to establish cognitive assembly line is presented. This paper deals with the process mapping, balancing the assembly line, and defining basic Industry 4.0 elements towards assembly line for product variety.
