Semi-Automatic Web-Line Feasibility Study

Abstract

The primary objective of this project was to design a cost effective semi-automatic method of pre-fabrication, fabrication and assembly of web sections, known as a semi-automatic web line (SAWL). The goal was to reduce material handling, fitting and welding labor, and at the same time bring about improved flow efficiency, space utilization, and integration with other advanced manufacturing practices and scheduling.
