Rapidly changing user requirements, improving of quality of life or increased safety at work are allarguments for introducing flexible automation that replaces strenuous or dangerous work. Industrial robots with adaptive directing are now deployed to most industries due to their large range of uses. Theirmain addition for manufacturing is to eliminate downtime of complete operating and manipulating production process, to make easier all particular operation in accordance with ergonomics. The paper describescomparing between conventional industrial robot and collaborative robot.

The article summarizes the experience of laboratory technical subjects teaching methodologies using a number of software products. The main aim is to modernize the teaching process in accordance with the requirements of today – based on information technology. Increasing of the study attractiveness and effectiveness is due to the introduction of Computer Aided (CA) technologies in the learning process. This paper discussed the areas where individual CA system used and concrete examples used in the education process. They are CAD system Catia V5, FluidSIM created and simulates the pneumatics and electropneumatic schemes and circles, software witness used for simulation of material flow planning and RobotStudio that illustrates operated Robot in his own manipulated area. Environment using CA systems are briefly presented in each chapter.

This paper deals with a designing process of assembly cell using CA systems. Methodology solved in the paper is applying CA tools. The methodology is divided in to five main project phases: assembly product analysis, hardware specification, selection of proper control system, control system simulation and whole process simulation.

This Computer simulation models allow to solve the problems by their complexity beyond the capacity of other mathematical and analytical methods. WITNESS is suitable software for simulation and optimization of production, service and logistics systems.

Machinery production main aim is to produce the asked products according to parameters and properties defined by costumers. For production of these components is needed the specific machinery consisted the machines, tools and fixtures. Mutual influence of these articles makes possible the production of asked components. That is a reason, why is necessary to specify particular machines that participate in production of these components. The determination of current machines number is very difficult and time consuming. For design is needed to weigh all factors joined to manufacturing process. It means inside and outside company factors influenced to manufacturing process. Lots of these factors influence extensively, concrete the speed, quality and elaborateness of particular products. According to that is necessary to use the accurate methods and the computations for machines determination in machinery.
