With medium volume and variation, changeover times, tool changes and positioning need to be considered. With a varying mix of products, it is possible to have multi-purposed machinery that can handle different products types. To further increase productivity, one could look into automated loading and unloading of products, done for example by an articulated robot.Low volume with high variation production has other benefits than mass production. Flexibility, faster time-to-market and customization. The volumes might not be big enough for automated productions lines to be favourable. Therefore, it might be a better solution to keep for instance loading and unloading manual.
