Nowadays, most of the manufacturing procedures use different workplaces to realize given production steps. At the production workplaces different material handling solutions are applied, however the selection of the suitable handling equipment is not optimized and based on experimental knowledge. The research presented in this paper targets to develop a model which can help to select the most suitable material handling equipment for different production workplaces. This paper gives an overview about the types of the workplaces in the aspects of material handling, the principals of the model building process, the structure of the possible model versions and presents an example for the applicability of the conception.

Nowadays, the consumption is the most significant factor in the economy. The consumption requires different items, which must be produced by the industry. Production processes are realized mainly on workplaces, so their importance is inevitably. This paper presents an overview about the planning process of material handling machines, especially for the production workplaces. The research, shown in this paper, targets to develop a model, which can help to select the most suitable material handling equipment for different production workplaces. The topic presented in this paper deals with the building of selection algorithm for the exclusion of non-applicable equipment types. To show the useability of the concept an example will also be presented.

On the other hand, it also becomes possible to compensate for the weaknesses and deficits of human operators (Mark et al, 2021;Mark et al, 2022) by using the partly contrasting but at the same time complementary capabilities of technical support systems.…”

“…Regardless of the increased importance of digitalization and automation in this technocratic perspective of the fifth industrial revolution, human operators with their individual skills and capabilities will not be excluded from production ( Al-Ani, 2017 ; Di Pasquale et al, 2021 ; Mark et al, 2021 ), but continue to be an integral part and indispensable factor ( May et al, 2015 ; Casla et al, 2019 ; Mark et al, 2021 ) in the center of attention ( May et al, 2015 ; Romero et al, 2016 ; Casla et al, 2019 ; Mark et al, 2022 ) of future industrial operations. However, it is expected that the operators’ tasks will change fundamentally ( Romero et al, 2016 ; Casla et al, 2019 ) due to changing job profiles and requirements.…”

Framework for qualifying exoskeletons as adaptive support technology

The fifth industrial revolution and the accompanying influences of digitalization are presenting enterprises with significant challenges. Regardless of the trend, however, humans will remain a central resource in future factories and will continue to be required to perform manual tasks. Against the backdrop of, e.g., societal and demographic changes and skills shortage, future-oriented support technologies such as exoskeletons represent a promising opportunity to support workers. Accordingly, the increasing interconnection of human operators, devices, and the environment, especially in human-centered work processes, requires improved human-machine interaction and further qualification of support systems to smart devices. In order to meet these requirements and enable exoskeletons as a future-proof technology, this article presents a framework for the future-oriented qualification of exoskeletons, which reveals potential in terms of user-individual and context-dependent adaptivity of support systems. In this context, a framework has been developed, allowing different support situations to be classified based on elementary functions. Using these support function dependencies and characteristics, it becomes possible to describe adaptive system behavior for human-centered support systems such as exoskeletons as a central aspect. For practical illustration, it is shown for an exemplary active exoskeleton using the example of user-individuality and context-specificity how the support characteristics of exoskeletons in the form of different support characteristics can bring about a purposeful and needs-based application for users and can contribute valuably to design future workplaces.
