Transportation system cradle, intermediate product comprising a transportation system cradle and a transportation system structure, assembly plant for manufacturing assembly of a transportation system structure, and method of manufacturing assembly of a transportation system

摘要

An assembly plant for at-factory pre-assembly of transportation systems has several assembly stations. In every assembly station a part of a respective transportation system is pre-assembled at each station. The assembly stations are arranged in the sequence of the assembly steps that are to be executed, and have assembly-step-specific tool devices and devices for making ready an inventory of assembly-step-specific assembly components. A production control system controls execution of the assembly steps and individual movement of the transportation systems between assembly stations, such that each transportation system is alternately moved and subjected to assembly steps. The assembly steps proceed in a rhythm (T) that is defined by a pre-specified fixed standard assembly-time window T.
