This master’s thesis presents the development of an automated system for stacking acoustic panels and removing post-die-cut waste. The objective is to reduce manual work and stabilise the process, improving throughput, repeatability, and safety. We first define the requirements and analyse the current state of production. We then survey enabling technologies and applicable safety standards. Multiple design concepts are generated and compared using the VDI 2225 method. The selected concept is validated through calculations and targeted measurements, and the main control requirements are specified. We evaluate technical feasibility, economic viability, and readiness for production deployment. Particular attention is given to maintainability, repeatability, and accuracy, which support robust operation and efficient servicing. The results show that the proposed solution meets the client’s requirements, stabilises material flow, and reduces waste.
