<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">Machine design is the art and science of fabricating
mechanical engineering for new machinery and system development. Mechanical
design requires a thorough understanding of scientific principles, a creative
imagination, and sound engineering techniques to economically construct a
machine or structure that satisfies the unique needs and requirements of a
client. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For example, if an engineer decides to design a new engine
for a plane or car, there are a number of special considerations that must be measured
into the final end-product. There are a number of thoughts that go into the
design of new technology: </p>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>How is the machine going to be used? </li><li>What loads will the machine be subjected to? </li><li>What temperatures will the material be exposed
to? </li><li>How can an old or existing model of the proposed
machine be improved upon? </li><li>What are the weight, size, and height
requirements? </li><li>What is the budget of the proposed item? </li><li>How long is the proposed life expectancy of the
machine?</li></ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Answering these questions can help guide the engineer when fabricating the machine. Certain materials are more flexible than others; certain materials can handle much higher loads and temperatures. This whole process of special consideration when developing a new machine is what we call machine design. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The basic principles of machine design are easy to read, but
hard to master and apply. Mechanical behavior of a machine may include
considerations in the areas of fatigue, reliability, the strength required by
the materials, dynamics, statics, and the vibrations required of the machine. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">How is the machine going to be produced? What are the
manufacturing processes that will be required? Computerized Numerical Control,
life cycle analysis, engineering statistics, ergonomics, and quality control
are all important factors when considering the production of a machine. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The third and final area when considering the basic principles
of machine design relate to the mechanical elements that will go into the
machine. This can include bearings, couplings, seals, springs, fasteners, gears,
and so on… Each piece of the mechanical puzzle must be analyzed and designed to
prevent any and all possible malfunctions and potential failures due to weight
load limit etc. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Maintenance in Mind</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Once a machine has been fabricated, built, and tested, the
machine will enter the operational phase of its life. An experienced mechanical
engineer will have thought about the next step in machine design: maintenance.
New technology can improve the overall work capacity and output, but if the
machine is next to impossible to repair efficiently and economically, then it
is doing no one any favors in the long run. Tooling will wear out, breakdowns
will occur, and maintenance is a necessary step in any and all machine
manufacturing processes; however, with the right design in place, maintenance
does not have to be a constant worry in the mind of the operator. This is why
we believe that you should always do it right, from the start. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Machine Design South
Florida </strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Building a machine that meets a customer’s expectation is a
given; an experienced machinist will easily be able to exceed the client’s
proposed product lifecycle. By using widely-available, reliable, commercial
components and a thorough maintenance manual and procedure, machine downtime
can be effectively cut in half. The end goal is reduced downtime, less scheduled
maintenance, and improved work capacity and efficiency without sacrificing the
safety of the operator or reliability of the machine. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Advanced machines even have the capability of monitoring and
diagnosing the issues that develop within their own architecture to ensure a
steady and reliable flow of efficiency. Automation Tech Support believes that
maintenance should not be a reactive approach; rather, maintenance should be
performed at safe, regular intervals to ensure machine safety and reliability. </p>
