Abstract
It seems that the subject of “Labour-intensive Assembly Operations” as a contribution to the “Factory of the Future” includes some contradictions — at least, however, it gives the impression as if this subject is not quite opportune at this conference. Such catchwords as the “factory of 1990, 2000 or 2001”, or how they may be called, are all too readily considered to be identical with the whole spectrum of automated production equipment ranging from the industrial robot via carriers to the flexible production centres, or in the indirect field, to all these C’s such as CAD/CAM CAP, CIM a.s.o.. So all too often the impression goes the round, as if each enterprise could find its future only in the total automation.
