Summary
Students will learn the basic activities and design procedures of automated and robotic workplaces. System integration will be discussed from the phase of obtaining and analyzing requirements for automation by the client, adding these basic requirements to the form of a detailed requirements list, through the phase of designing the workplace concept, creating a bid budget and planning activities and resources. All other activities leading to the handover and commissioning of the workplace will be mentioned for information as well. However, these will be discussed in detail in other related subjects.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Analyzing the requirements of the client and their transformation into a detailed list of requirements.
Determination of other parameters for the design of a robotic workplace - completion of a requirements list to specify the task.
Impact of automation / robotic automation on the production process.
Sequence of activities for preparation of quotation for supply of automation.
Process of design and implementation of automation / robotic workplace.
Basic awareness of related legislation.
Course Contents
Lectures:
1) General introduction to the subject and basic terminology. General introduction to the design of a robotic workplace.

2) Analysis of the client's assignment. Compilation of a basic requirement list and setting of measurable parameters.

3) Analysis of the assigned task for automation and related technologies. Possible sources of information and inspiration.

4) Specification of requirements for completion and concretization of the assignment after the analysis. Compilation of a detailed requirement list.

5) Conceptual solution of RW/SPM with regard to the requirements of the tender budget. Level of 3D models and simulations details for RW cycle time verification. Use of VR in RW design.

6) Resource planning and setting project deadlines.

7) Creation of the tender budget and economic parameters of the workplace – ROI, TCO, OEE.

8) Submitting an offer and its details.

9) Contract for work and its requirements.

10) Realization of a robotic workplace, handover of the workplace, warranty, service.
