<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Assembly Lines have come a very long way; from Henry Ford to
artificial intelligence and machine learning, assembly automation has gone
through a transformative period over the last century. The assembly line is one
of the greatest advancements in technology and has radically changed the way
that many important things – such as cars, mechanical parts, computers, planes,
etc. – are made. The evolution of assembly automation is exciting and
interesting to see; we’ll take a brief look at the history of assembly lines
and what is on the horizon for future technologies. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The Evolution of
Assembly Automation </strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While Ford is often credited with the first automotive assembly line, a more fitting title would have to be “the father of mass-produced automobiles”. The first automotive assembly line actually came from Ransom Olds – the Oldsmobile brand – in 1901. This new manufacturing and assembly process allowed Olds’ output to increase by 500% in one year, with nearly 20 cars rolling off the line each day. For this time, this level of production was unheard of. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="1024" height="784" src="http://automationtechsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/early-assembly-lines-1024x784.jpg" alt="Ford Model T " class="wp-image-538" srcset="http://automationtechsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/early-assembly-lines-1024x784.jpg 1024w, http://automationtechsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/early-assembly-lines-300x230.jpg 300w, http://automationtechsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/early-assembly-lines-768x588.jpg 768w, http://automationtechsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/early-assembly-lines-700x536.jpg 700w, http://automationtechsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/early-assembly-lines.jpg 1958w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Unfortunately for Olds, Henry Ford dramatically improved
upon this idea by utilizing a series of moving platforms, otherwise known as a
conveyor system. The vehicle was towed by a rope attached to the chassis of
each vehicle, which allowed workers at each station to quickly assemble the
parts they were responsible. This method allowed production of a Model T in about
90 minutes; during one of Ford’s best years using this method, about two
million automobiles rolled off of the assembly line. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The Importance of
Assembly Lines</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There are a number of reasons why assembly lines are so
important and beneficial to society. For starters, before assembly lines,
workers were often tasked with the same, repetitive, and mundane task for hours
upon hours each day. This led to a large degree of worker dissatisfaction and
mental drudgery. From a manufacturer’s standpoint, the worker’s physical and
mental degradation inevitably leads to decreased work output and productivity. Worker
dissatisfaction led to innovations in the field, such as Olds’ and Ford’s
assembly lines, as well as the nearly fully-automated assembly lines we see
today. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This increase in technology, despite what many say, has actually led to an increase in the skill of plant workers and the number of jobs available in the sector. For example, the company Rethink Robotics designed a robot named Baxter, which is a low-cost and user-friendly machine capable of operating at $3 an hour and vastly improving efficiency and work productivity. Technology like this has led to the creation of 3-5 million new jobs and has allowed the U.S. to be about 3 times as efficient and productive as China. Workers are now, instead of being trained in short, repetitive, and mundane tasks, being trained in the complex operation, maintenance, and design of these sophisticated systems. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Innovations in
Assembly Lines </strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Artificial intelligence and machine learning continue to be
implemented into existing assembly system architecture to further improve upon
old technology. Machine learning is simply the study of models and algorithms
that can be implemented into computer systems; these algorithms attempt to
teach a machine a specific task with specific instructions; rather, the machine
must rely on inference and patterns instead. &nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Traditionally, each automated machine in an assembly line
has a specific instruction – or task – to be performed. Each machine must be
programmed for a specific instruction, such as drilling a hole, punching a
rivet, etc. With machine learning and artificial intelligence, the end result
of a task can be programmed, such as the size and depth of a drilled hole;
then, the machine will decide which drill-bit to use, how far to drill the
hole, and calculate the drill speed by itself. As we continue to move through
time, fully automated assembly lines will become more and more commonplace and
effective. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Assembly automation has allowed an increase in workload and
production output when compared to manual processes. The manufacturing industry
is especially labor-intensive; the use of automation, assembly lines, and
machining has resulted in improved efficiency, better product duplication,
decreased worker stress levels, and savings in labor, costs, and unneeded
material waste. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Assembly automation – also known as assembly lines – is used by a countless number of industries to improve production times and reduce costs. The automobile industry uses automation extensively, with robots performing most of the duties that were originally done by hand; this includes spray painting, parts manufacturing, spot welding, and every process in-between. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>A History of Assembly
Lines</strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Production lines started to take off during the first two decades of the 1900s. In 1913, Ford Motor Company began to use assembly lines in a newly built factory for their car manufacturing process. Before the assembly line, each car had to be made by a number of skilled/unskilled workers by hand. The production line cut the number of hours spent assembling a car from 12 to 3. Eventually, this number was cut down to one car every 1.5 hours. With business booming, it boosted Ford’s production rates, profits, and reputation. Ford was very altruistic, and offered his workers increased amounts of pay as well. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The 1930s saw assembly line innovation from Japan, a nation
that was at the forefront of developing technology for use in assembly
automation. Japan introduced micro-switches, protective relays, and highly
accurate electrical timers to the assembly line. During the Second World War,
this technology was put to use in the production of aircraft, landing craft,
warships, tanks, fighter aircraft, and other military vehicles. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The 1950s: A History
of Production Lines</strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After Japan’s surrender in 1945, the industrial rebuilding program – assisted by the United States – brought superior technology and assembly automation to the defeated nation. This technology spawned motor giants such as Toyota, Honda, and Nissan; high standards were soon coupled with realistic prices that could not be matched with other automobile companies in competing territories. This solidified Japan as an automobile giant, with their automobiles and goods being exported worldwide today. </p>
