Workshop Robotization for Lean Assembly

Businesses are scaling up with robotic automatization to improve quality and productivity or to cope with the shortage in the labour market. Implementing robotic solutions is not an easy task and there are many boundary conditions to consider.

Are you thinking about the application of robotics and smart technology? Do you face difficulties with applications with high product variety? Do you feel like you are not well prepared to take the first and following steps? We understand the challenges you are facing! To help you get closer to your desired goal, we will provide you with insights into the practical application of robots in Lean assemblies, based on our practice-oriented research.

During the workshop, we will present new Lean tools like the Smart Value Stream Map that can help you deploy and design robot solutions more effectively.
Furthermore, you will apply this knowledge in an experimental production environment where you will be challenged to deal with a variety of production problems. You will face challenges such as fluctuating demand, employee shortages, quality assurance, and material supply. In this game setting you will gain hands-on experience on how Lean techniques, in conjunction with our modular testing setup, the Qube robot cell, can help to deal with these challenges.  This will help you to develop and optimize robot applications in your own organisation.

After this workshop, you will have a better understanding of how to combine robots with high product variety and how Lean practices can help you do that. This will provide new insights in introducing or improving the application of robotics in your company and will spark new ideas for reaching your business goals.
