Abstract
A device for manufacturing sections that are composed of several individual components uses a plurality of workstations. According to an embodiment of the invention, each workstation is designed for carrying out at least one of at least three manufacturing steps. Sections may be processed in each workstation regardless of their shape and/or size. A specialized manufacturing step such as assembly and tacking, connecting, finishing or performing follow-up work is carried out in each workstation. This allows a high degree of automation in at least some of the stations and improved capacity utilization, because the sections are transferred to a downstream workstation after the completion of the respective manufacturing. In one example, a method for manufacturing sections for transportation devices, such as aircraft, by assembling several individual components in a plurality of workstations is disclosed. One of at least three manufacturing steps is carried out in each workstation and the respective sections are processed in each workstation regardless of their shape and/or size.
