“…We had to find a way to deliver task-related information directly to the shopfloor, to the right person at the right place, at the right time, preferably in a form he or she could make use of without extraordinary mental effort. As such systems were not available on the market, we developed several prototypes of interactive, multimedia-based task support systems and studied them in production (Kasvi et al 1993(Kasvi et al , 1994Kasvi, Vartiainen, Anneli, & Nieminen, 1997;.…”

“…In 2000s, Finnish researchers had developed Interactive Task Support System (ITSS) is an information technological tool that aims to train novice operator and support expert operator with all the task related information required to complete a complex lightweight assembly task [3]. The development as then expanded to Information Support System (ISS) that supports more general work activities.…”

The purpose of this work is to develop information support for human-robot collaboration in cellular manufacturing based on human-centered approach to improve the human adaptability of the support system. In this paper, six main developments are presented to illustrate the human-centered approach. Before the human-robot collaboration system can be developed, a human-human collaboration experiment is conducted to investigate the interactions within the collaboration. Instead of analyzing the assembly process in conventional mechanical approach, task analysis approach is used to analyze human operations in assembly. This approach explains the assembly process by human operations for better understanding of the assembly by the operator. Collaboration analysis in both quantitative and qualitative analyses is conducted in design phase to understand the collaboration relationship in assembly. The collaboration is analyzed from the given assembly operations and the tasks are reassigned to the appropriate working agent based on the capabilities of the human operator and the robot system. Risk assessment is conducted to enhance safety information in the support system. Based on human cognitive process and experimental studies, a multimodal information support system is developed with horizontal display providing information support by multimedia presentation. Support information design and presentation are developed based on human information processing. A set of design guidelines is developed to prepare the multimedia presentation. The support system is successfully implemented in a prototype production cell for cable harness assembly. Comparison study is conducted to validate the improvement by the support system.

“…Sauer et al (2000) recommend that programmers and designers collaborate with operators to tap into their expert process knowledge with the aim of improving their own knowledge, thereby reducing preprocessing errors, Noble (1979) concurs. Kasvi, Vartiainen, Pulkkis, and Nieminen (1996) identify two developments that have increased shop floor information requirements: the increased need for production flexibility and the expansion of work content. Although their work is aimed at lightweight assembly tasks, Kasvi et al (1996) report the development of an information system to provide all task-related information needed during assembly, and it is therefore relevant to this research.…”

As information technology (IT) capabilities increase, manufacturing businesses are realigning their information systems infrastructure to remain competitive. This has resulted in substantial increases in IT use in technical areas of the business. Nevertheless, conventional paper-based information systems are still common at the shop floor. Hence, manufacturers need to understand whether there is benefit in extending IT functionality to the shop floor. By evaluating the impact of hypermedia information systems on the independent decision-making and communication capabilities of computer numerical control (CNC) machinists, this research aims to identify the shop floor benefits of replacing existing paper-based systems with this relatively new technology in this context. The research findings have wide-ranging implications for further research into the strategic implementation of shop floor IT and for future work structures in the metal cutting industry.
