Abstract

This paper focuses on the input parameters that affect the resulting efficiency of a robotic workplace for industrial use. The aim of the investigation was to find which parameters most significantly affect cycle time and electricity consumption, and which way of movement is the most suitable for robotic operation. By finding the most suitable parameters, we obtain the information on how to build the most efficient robotic workplace. The investigation focused mainly on the energy consumption and layout of the robotic work cells components that significantly affect the cycle time and potentially save electric energy.
