SELECTED EXAMPLE OF SUPPORT THE FLEXIBILITY IN PRODUCTION STRUCTURES BASED ON MODULAR DESIGN.

The objective of this paper is to present the modular workstations concept based on miniaturization and re-configurability trends. The article focuses on presentation of sample production system, referred as agile, with a modular construction structure made up of aluminium profile system by building-block principles. The modular architecture allows an individual and flexible adaptation of workstations to varying requirements of production tasks. In the first part of this article are discussed the specification of basic flexibility types in production system and the main impacts influencing design of manufacturing structures. The closing section of the article provides the specification of example solution of adjustable production platform with modular frame. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
