Abstract

The transition to automated production processes is a strategic requirement in modern industrial environments, particularly in the face of the intrinsic limitations of manual tasks in assembly lines.[1, 2]These limitations include high cycle time variability, significant ergonomic constraints for operators, and a lack of traceability and quality control over screwing operations.
In this context, this work is part of a technological innovation approach within the company Sagemcom Tunisia, by developing an automated screwing machine integrating the guiding principles of Industry 4.0[3, 4]. The project offers a complete solution for the automation of a screwing station, initially carried out manually, converting it into an intelligent, autonomous, traceable and secure system.
