Design of algorithm for creation of modular lines of specialpurpose machines in the automotive industry

Abstract

This article deals with modularity of special-purpose machines in the automotive industry. The Slovak economy, by its interconnection to engineering and most to the automotive industry, often solves the lowest costs, whether in the sphere of production or in the field of assembly. This question is associated with the question of special-purpose machines. The design and specificity of each such device results in high development and construction costs. It is important to mention the modularity that is very often used in the design of such devices. Due to the large variability of the automotive environment, it is a big prerequisite for the future rebuilding of equipment, which is usually expensive and time consuming. By looking for connections and bonds between elements, can be created some modules. By creating a modular construction of the device, it is possible, if a requirement comes, to reconfigure the device and prepare it for new production requirements, respectively. Certain algorithms and procedures are needed to design such devices and utilize the modular arrangement of the device. By creating such modular lines, whether in assembly or in production, we are able to save energy, work and money.
