Abstract
Production systems are getting more complex. Introduction
of new technologies, new products and production
paradigms have an effect also on system design and how
human operators collaborate with these complex
intelligent systems. At the same time global competition,
customer demand for personalised products, and shorter
life cycles of products make profitable automation and
information management on the factory floor demanding.
The challenges are most important in labour intensive
small series production, where old-fashioned ways of
production are no longer competitive in the West. There
is a need for a new Smart Manufacturing Paradigm to
fulfil needs and create new ways of working. The authors
are searching for methods to create smart manufacturing
systems and enabling technologies in order to meet the
need, focusing on the role of the human operator. This
paper is based on the authors' experience of industrial
collaboration, a literature study, and ongoing
feasibility studies at VTT.
