Background

• AVIX DFAA (DFA2) is based on a collection of DFA aspects (rules), with focus on optimizing design for automatic assembly, hence DFAA
  
  
• The basic idea is that optimizing design for automatic assembly (robots) will also provide good conditions for humans (e.g. humans have a wider degree of freedom)
  
  
• Both DFA and DFAA can be done using AVIX (choice of template for DFA aspects)
  
  
• AVIX DFAA is based on a close collaboration between academia and a number of industries in a project from the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden. It was based on a wide range of industries:
  • • Consumer products and industrial products
    • Mechanical products and electronic products
    • High volume manufacturing and low volume manufacturing
    • Manual assembly and automatic assembly
      
      
• A DFAA in AVIX can be done at product level (e.g. number of parts, modularization) and at part level (e.g. need to assemble part?)
