Robotic Automation of Car Seat Reloading Workstation

This paper deals with the automation of a manual workstation at Hyundai Transys s.r.o., a company specializing in the production of car seats for Kia automobiles. The aim of this work is to replace human labor with robotic workstations while ensuring the required efficiency, safety, and flexibility of the manufacturing process. Based on these requirements, the necessary equipment for transforming the manufacturing process into an automated system was selected and evaluated. Automating this part of the production process can speed up the manufacturing cycle, improve product quality, and save financial resources. The implementation of a robotic workstation controlled by a PLC system was a key step in achieving these goals. Based on simulations in the Roboguide simulation environment, the possibilities for future development and improvement of the work were evaluated.
