Manufacturing system

Manufacturing system, as well as other systems, is composed of basic elements (technological processing, machines, facilities, system elements, workers, etc.). It has its inputs and outputs (input material, product information provided by designer, information from production planning and production management, energy, etc. intermediate products, parts, products, services, etc. are output) Manufacturing system has its surroundings, for example customers, suppliers, competitors, developers, legislators, nature, etc.

We, Department of Manufacturing process, are focusing especially on the links in production systems, which are usually neglected elsewhere.

In the area of design, there are especially system components such as rotary tables, positioners, conveyors, trays, stackers, assembly machines, tool systems, machining etc.

In the area of logistics and industrial engineering, there are organization links: material flows, information flows, standards, which are affecting productivity, costs, machines and workers usage, short delivery times, deadline meeting, scraps, backlogs and more pointers. We are using not only classical PI methods, but also DF tools (Siements Tecnomatix – material and information flow simulation, logistics simulation, ergonomics simulation, etc.)

In the area of development, the department’s focus is aimed at prototype manufacturing, using Rapid Prototyping (FDM printers, CNC machines, and vacuum casting), 3D digitalization of designs (ATOS II, REVscan), verifying product shapes (optical ATOS II, Coordinate measuring machine), technological process automation using servo systems and pneumatic and hydraulic components.

Department of manufacturing systems is trying to reflect current needs of companies in the area of modern industry management. It combines knowledge of business management and technical knowledge of master’s fields of study. Using this knowledge, we are helping to optimize, innovate, and make manufacturing and non-manufacturing processes implemented in production systems more effective.

Graduates

Graduates have various applications such as industrial engineers, system engineers, innovation engineers, control engineers, lean specialists, improvement technologists, project managers, production managers, project leaders, quality process specialists, planners, logistics managers, process simulation specialists, reverse engineering specialist, rapid prototyping specialist, etc.

We are working in areas of

Design, planning, implementing and improving industrial processes (not only manufacturing, but service as well), methods of industrial and system engineering.

We realize

We realize through waste reduction project by solution of rationalizations, effectiveness, optimization, and innovation of complex systems of workers, information, material, machines and energy.

We do not handle design and technological process only, but we aim for feasibility and implementing innovation of manufacturing process as well. Our goal is gaining higher efficiency, productivity, and competitiveness of manufacturing system by reorganizing and managing it.

Field of Manufacturing systems

It associates areas of re-engineering, industrial engineering, innovation engineering, rapid prototyping, facility designing, lean logistics, ergonomics, computer simulation, etc.).

Work with flexible manufacturing systems can be understood as finding a way to manage and organize industrial processes easier, better, faster and cheaper. Students gain complex knowledge in areas of:
