When companies procure non-standard automated production lines, they may have numerous questions. Below are explanations of some common questions regarding non-standard automated equipment production lines.
1. Is it more conducive to improving productivity for assembly-line workers to stand or sit?
This depends on the product; it’s recommended that people who make large movements find it more convenient to stand.
2. What are the reasonable settings for the height and width of the assembly line, as well as the height and width of the machinery?
According to ergonomic principles, we recommend that the height of a seated workstation be between 65 and 75 cm, with a seat height of 38 to 45 cm, plus a footrest platform measuring 20 to 30 cm. For a standing workstation, the height should be between 85 and 95 cm, with a seat height of 58 to 62 cm.
3. Is it better to have the assembly line run from left to right, or is there actually no difference at all?
In theory, there’s actually no difference. However, since most people are right-handed, it’s more natural for the assembly line to flow from left to right, aligning with everyone’s habitual pattern.
4. Does a faster assembly line mean higher production capacity?
The level of product capacity should depend on the operation time of the bottleneck process. Forcing an increase in production line speed could instead lead to numerous problems.
5. Many companies use U-shaped assembly lines. Do U-shaped assembly lines really improve efficiency and save space?
All designs should be tailored to the product’s characteristics and manufacturing processes. The advantages of U-shaped production lines do not apply to all products; therefore, the layout of the production line should take actual conditions into account.
6. Why is the output relatively low shortly after starting up or during the shift handover period?
This is a preparation phase—and also a period when problems tend to occur frequently. Under no circumstances should you neglect the verification procedures during thread-setting and shift handover just to rush production; therefore, management at this stage is critically important.
7. Should the velocity setting of the streamline be kept constant?
Within the same product category, the flow rate should remain constant; however, when different products are produced on the same production line, the flow rate needs to be adjusted according to the actual product requirements.
8. For automated production lines, is it better to perform repairs synchronously or step by step?
For minor malfunctions, we’ll try to use a maintenance approach and schedule concentrated repairs for Sundays. However, if the issue is more serious or requires a longer repair time, we’ll take advantage of Sundays by assigning both maintenance technicians and operators to focus on repairing a specific section. Then, on the following Sunday, we’ll shift our attention to another section. This ensures that the automated production line remains operational without downtime during working hours.
