Modernization and Automation of Automotive Industry Production Processes with Industrial Robots
Journal Title: Mašinstvo - Year 2015, Vol 12, Issue 3
Abstract
The paper aims to answer if the industrial robot is a motif of accelerated trend of automation and modernisation of production processes in automotive industry in the world. It describes the application of industrial robots in the World for the period from 2009 – 2014. It offers analysis of the application of industrial robots in the automotive industry, as well as metal industry, which is also related to the automotive industry. Based on this analysis, conclusions were made about the role of industrial robots in the growing trend of modernisation and automation of production processes in the automotive industry. The role of industrial robots is interesting when it comes to energy efficiency, as well as the role of new materials from the aspect of weight reduction, as well as innovation when it comes to IT technology. Information technologies provide new softwares whereby we get a far greater utilization of industrial robots from the point of performing a large number of operations, and therefore improves the automation of production processes in the automotive industry. The materials and their combinations are always demanding both in the metal as well as in automotive industries, and require new skills with applications such as sewing, weaving and knitting all types of fiber (for the car industry) that represent a challenge and are introduced in robotics. Changes, such as integration of engineering disciplines, bring improvement in production processes. The paper gives an overview of the increase in the production of vehicles in the world through the use of industrial robots. The stated example is China, which is the first in the world by the application of industrial robots, and the first in the world for producing automobiles. Industrial robots are essentially a reason for the accelerated trend of modernization and automation of production processes in the automotive industry.
