The Smart Workstation: Technology That Supports

Manual Assembly vs. Automated Assembly – Part 3: The Smart Workstation

A modern assembly workstation is much more than a bench with tools — it’s a smart system that actively supports workers. Robust and high-performance tools form the foundation. These tools must be compact, maintenance-free, and seamlessly integrated with the worker assistance system.

Our SMART WORK ASSISTANT (SWA) is specifically designed to meet these needs. These compact computing units provide the interfaces necessary to connect devices such as screwdriving systems, pick-to-light solutions, or camera systems. Thanks to their space-saving design, they can be discreetly mounted behind monitors. Mobile device integration — such as tablets or laptops — further expands use cases, for example in material logistics. For pick-to-light applications, we use components from KBS electronic, known for their robustness, ease of modification, and low wiring requirements.

Thanks to network connectivity, the SWA units can also be integrated into ERP systems andenable remote support — making them not only a core component of the workstation but also a key factor in process reliability and efficiency.
