Abstract

Due to mass customization, the product variances have considerably increased. Hence, achieving high quality, high variety, and small batch size production can be expensive. A thorough literature review and research findings indicate the new technologies that can be considered for mitigating these disparities. This paper then presents a case study for achieving high quality reliable e-axle bearings through a developed data-driven Bearing Test Rig (BTR). The second case study indicates the feasibility of high variety assembly of products in an e-axle through a cobot that is utilized for bearing assembly, sealing application, and bolting operations. Both depict the human-machine interaction as a core element in future e-axle assembly. The results are evaluated with the help of FMEA analysis, LoA matrix, and a simulation model.
