Alternative transportation solutions for the assembly line at Ålö AB (English)
Abstract [en]

Ålö AB is a world-leading company in agricultural equipment. They sell and manufacture front loaders and implement solutions for tractors. The transport solution currently used in assembly is outdated and must be replaced in the near future. The purpose of the project was to carry out a preliminary investigation to provide increased knowledge for future decisions regarding the implementation of a new transport system. The investigation was conducted through a literature review and observation of the existing transport system. Additionally, a market survey of the transport systems has also been performed. The study is based on theories such as 5s and the Toyota Production system (TPS). In this report, five different transport solutions such as monorail, drag chain conveyor, and Automated Guided Vehicles, are compared with each other based on various aspects identified during the implementation process. Examples of these aspects include expansion possibilities, safety, and ergonomics. Each transport system was evaluated and compared in a table, scored on a scale of 1-5 based on these aspects. The two systems that were considered most suitable were selected for further comparison. The project was limited to addressing only the transport system itself, excluding layout proposals or logistics. The result indicate that an Automated Guided Vehicle system is the most optimal transport solution for the assembly line. Further work on the project should include a cost comparison of the different transport solutions, as well as a deeper analysis of their integration with existing systems.

Abstract [sv]

Ålö AB är ett världsledande företag inom jordbruksredskap. De säljer och tillverkar frontlastare och redskapslösningar till traktorer. Transportlösningen som används på monteringen idag är gammal och måste bytas ut inom en snar framtid. Syftet med projektet var att genomföra en förundersökning som kan bidra med ökade kunskaper inför kommande beslut om implementering av ett nytt transportsystem. Genomförandet av undersökningen bygger på en litteraturstudie och observation av befintligt transportsystem. Även en marknadsundersökning över transportsystem har gjorts. Arbetet utgår från teorier som 5s och Toyota Production system. Fem olika transportlösningar, exempelvis monorail, drag chain conveyor och Automated Guided Vehicles, jämförs med varandra och diskuteras utifrån aspekter som tagits fram under genomförandet. Exempel på aspekterna är utbyggnadsmöjligheter, säkerhet och ergonomi. Aspekterna poängsattes på en skala 1–5. De två system som ansågs mest lämpade valdes ut för en vidare jämförelse. Projektet avgränsades till att endast behandla själva transportsystemet, inte layoutförslag eller logistik. Resultatet visar att ett Automated Guided Vehicle system är det mest optimala transportsystemet för monteringslinan. Fortsatt arbete med projektet borde inkludera en jämförelse av kostnaderna för de olika transportlösningarna. Samt en djupare analys av deras integrering med befintliga system.
