• Cost modelling of onboard cobot-supported item sorting in a picking system 

      Fager, Patrik; Calzavara, Martina; Sgarbossa, Fabio (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      For manual picking processes in warehouses and assembly line feeding, collaborative robots – cobots – hold a potential to support operators and, thereby, enhance performance. However, studies focused on the economic aspects ...
    • Kit preparation with cobot-supported sorting in mixed model assembly 

      Sgarbossa, Fabio; Calzavara, Martina; Fager, Patrik (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Kitting is a common approach of materials supply with mixed-model assembly, by which components are supplied to the assembly process in pre-sorted kits. With kitting, the kit preparation is a labour intensive process and ...
    • Modelling time efficiency of cobot-supported kit preparation 

      Fager, Patrik; Calzavara, Martina; Sgarbossa, Fabio (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Kitting – meaning to supply assembly with components in presorted kits – is widely seen as beneficial for assembly quality and efficiency when there is a multitude of component variants. However, the process by which kits ...
