Industrial Engineering - Role of Engineering, Mechanization and Automation
In process improvement study or projects, to do a task in the most productive manner, the most efficient manual method (best manual method), best mechanized method and best automation method are to be compared and the most productive method has to be employed. This comparison has to be done at element or suboperation level.

Poka Yoke Assembly Checks with Vision Systems
At ALPHR Technology, we manufacture manual and semi-automated assembly stations providing Poka-yoke vision inspection.
This integrated vision inspection equipment means that manufacturers can ensure the reliability of their machines, thus guaranteeing a high quality of products being manufactured.
To check orientation, presence and correctness, we use simple vision sensor technology, and for more complex inspection tasks we employ full, functional machine vision.

Manual Work Meets Modern Automation, Empowers Workers With Handicaps
October 2, 2020
“We use automation to avoid mistakes that previously occurred in the production process. Everyone must be able to work smoothly together.”
The Japanese Poka-Yoke principle, which targets the systematic elimination of human errors, coupled with “Guided Operator Solutions” from Mitsubishi Electric Automation Inc., ensures high quality for Martinshof’s customers, which include well-known automakers in the region.
Intelligent Poka Yoke: When Lean Manufacturing Meets Deep Learning
