PassForM Resource-based process management through flexible use of intelligent modules in hybrid assembly The PassForM research project creates a modularly reconfigurable assembly station. It allows for a more flexible design of manual and hybrid assembly stations and systematic automation, which improves scalability, re-usability and responsiveness to market developments. Bidirectional information and control instruction exchange enable and ease the integration of the modular assembly stations into existing assembly organizations. For this purpose, a material supply module, a conveyor module and a robot module are implemented. The goal is to unite the opposing requirements of productivity and flexibility in the assembly area of medium quantities. The project will fill the gap between manual and highly automated processes. The performance of the modular, hybrid assembly system will be evaluated and based on application scenarios in variant assembly groups. Contact persons: J. Wilhelm (Project manager) N.
