Modular Design Concept

Disadvantage

General function (does not allow creativity)

Proprietary core technology(unknown to standard manufacturing as we did not do it by ourselves)

Constraint by workstation specification

Costly

Larger Machine Size

Advantage

Ease of upgrading,scalable ,similar product available

Faster delivery time, quick time to market

Lower inventory and engineering cost

Remove design uncertainty

Shorten overall design time (Standard)

Known Specifications

Proven design/Fully debugged

What is it?

Example : Slide Module ,Conveyor Module,Pick and Place, Drill head module

Strategy : General usefulness for whole of module families' design for future products.

Manufacturing : assembled by "building blocks" modules

Technique :functions designed in modules combined in subsequent designs. Integrates standard workstation to perform tasks.

reusable engineering - portions of previous designs used as new designs.

Introduction

Machine modules made up of standard machine elements & customised parts and components

Can be design-in house / standard purchased from external soruce

machine built from different modules capable of certain operation/process

Conventional - design from ground up
