Zusammenfassung
Manual assembly is typical for complex products with large-scales and low repetition rates. The assembly control is usually done by supervisors and takes up a large part of their working time. The approach for decentralized assembly control is used in the assembly planning for relieving the supervisors and for making the assembly process more efficient. Primarily, this approach is used in flow-lines and is based on bionic mutualistic networks, which coordinate the assembly tasks by using an artificial stimulus. This article presents a transfer concept of the approach of decentralized assembly control for different alternative types of assembly organization. For transferring the approach, apart from flowline production, key requirements are figured out and the existing types of organization are systemized. The results of an enhancement of the approach suggest that especially organizational types with aperiodic worker movements in combination with stationary or aperiodic motion structure of assembly objects are suitable for the decentralized assembly control. A first testing already verifies the qualification of the approach for team assembly with stationary products and aperiodic worker movements.
