Today's assembly lines employ technologies that limit the potential for flexible production. An EU initiative introduced a radical change in production processes through robotic technology and cutting-edge solutions to optimise assembly line operation and control.
Production lines are planned, designed and developed in such a way as to support technologies, equipment and methods that restrict the flexibility of production systems and processes. Despite the fact that manual and automated tasks run smoothly and efficiently, problems arise when technical issues occur.
