SALIMBENI, Sergio  and  MAMANI, Daniel. Framework for Cobots´ incorporation in manufacturing lines. Podium [online]. 2020, n.38, pp.159-180. ISSN 2588-0969.  https://doi.org/10.31095/podium.2020.38.10.

The aim of this study is the development of a framework for the evaluation and feasibility analysis for the incorporation of collaborative robots in the manufacturing lines. This work has been carried out in two phases: (1) a review of the literature regarding Digital Transformation and Industry 4.0 and its associated technologies was carried out; (2) existing techniques were studied for analysis of collaborative robots´ incorporation in workstations; a reference framework was later developed for feasibility analysis. It is concluded that a 5-factor analysis is one of the most convenient evaluation ways: technical, ergonometric and quality aspects, economic-financial and regulatory viewpoint. The latter point is a contribution to current research work.

Keywords : Fourth Industrial Revolution; Industry 4.0; Digital Transformation; SMEs; Robots; Production; Multicriteria Decision Taking.
