Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The required flexibility for the assembly of high variant and low volume products such as aircraft components is often met with manual processes. Historically grown and poorly optimized processes are reaching their limits in terms of production rates. The growing demand for these products and increased competitive pressure from low-wage countries are driving companies to increase the level of automation in production, which can be achieved ever more cost-effectively through interconnected resources and digitization. Hybrid assembly systems, consisting of digital assistance systems and automation resources such as projection devices or cobots offer a flexible solution with manageable investment. However, task- and product-specific programming and the commissioning of several sensors and actuators require automation expertise and lead to high costs not only during implementation but also during operation. Furthermore, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are confronted with the challenge of a low degree of digitalization within their manual processes, high cost for automation expert knowledge, or simply manpower. Therefore, expanding from manual to hybrid assembly systems, several transformation and assignment problems occur and data flow as well as media discontinuity have to be considered. To close this gap, a solution approach consisting of an information model and data transformation pipeline is derived, that can be used as a supplementation for existing planning methodologies. The goal is to reduce the effort for commissioning and operation of automation technology, support engineers on the shopfloor level with missing expert knowledge, and increase transparency in late planning phases during assembly planning. This approach is intended to support the expansion of manual to partially automated assembly systems without the need to adapt the product or plan a new assembly system from scratch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
