Purpose Of WorkshopPurpose Of Workshop
To develop a (broad industry/academic) vision and to define the state of the art and needs in “Smart Assembly.”
“Smart Assembly” refers to a next generation capability in assembly systems and technologies which integrate “virtual” and “real-time” methods in order to achieve dramatic improvements in productivity, lead-time, and agility for the design, engineering, validation, construction, installation, launch and operation of assembly processes and systems.

Scope (suggested…)Scope (suggested…) In scope:
• Assembly processes and systems: putting parts/components together to make a product.
• Mfg Engineering and Mfg Operations activities: mfg process planning, design, engineering, validation, construction, installation, launch and operation of assembly processes and systems.
Out of scope (despite importance!)• Product design and modeling for assembly• “Big M” manufacturing: enterprise analytics,
supply chain, etc
