IDEC's robot‐based cellular production system: a challenge to automate high‐mix low‐volume production

IDEC's robot‐based cellular production system: a challenge to automate high‐mix low‐volume... Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide a report of the world first robotized cellular production system developed by IDEC Corporation. Design/methodology/approach – The work is based on an interview with the development team of IDEC Corporation. Findings – The paper finds that the IDEC system is a success that paved a way to the future automated cellular production system that enables high‐mix, low‐volume production. Practical implications – The paper provides an up‐to‐date insight into how to automate high‐mix low‐volume production. Originality/value – The paper elaborates how a robotized cellular production system is realized. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Assembly Automation Emerald Publishing
