    Turk, Maja, strojnica ; Resman, Matevž ; Herakovič, Niko
    Due to the increasing competition in the global market and to fulfill the need for rapid changes of products variability, it is necessary to introduce reconfigurability and smart solutions within the ... entire process chain including manual assembly. The aim of the paper is to introduce a new manual assembly station equipped with smart technologies and tools. The manual workstation is self-configurable according to the constitution of the individual worker, the product variety and the product structure in order to quickly adapt the workplace to new products, to optimize assembly process, to minimize assembly times and to provide ergonomic working conditions through Digital Human Modeling. The effectiveness of the implemented technologies and tools will be demonstrated through a case study, which includes a comparison of assembly times and number of errors when assembly operations are performed by an unskilled worker at a traditional and smart assembly workstations.
