Product range & volume structure
The number of product variants, annual production volume, average batch size, and changeover frequency form the basis of every capacity and flexibility plan.
Production Lines for Small Series
Production Lines for Small Series
assemblean develops flexible production lines for small series that combine robotics, intelligent handling technology, modular process stations, and digital control systems into an adaptable manufacturing solution. This makes it possible to economically produce both recurring small batches and high-variant products — without the drawbacks of purely manual manufacturing.
Service overview
Why do small series need different production lines than mass production?
While mass-production systems are optimised for maximum volumes, production lines for small series must work as flexibly as possible. Product changeovers, different materials, or changing process sequences are part of everyday production. A rigid special-purpose machine would often not make economic sense. Instead, modular production concepts are used that can be adapted to new requirements — in software or mechanically — within a short time. Companies with high variant diversity in particular benefit from a flexible production line, since changeover times are reduced and smaller orders can be realised economically.
