Ebm-papst Slovenija d.o.o. aims to introduce a new product to the market, the H01 hydronic valve, for which an assembly process and an assembly system for serial production are required. The H01 valve is a seat valve controlled by a stepper motor and intended for in district heating systems. In the master’s thesis, we developed the assembly process using a systematic approach and, due to the concurrent development of the product, continuously adapted it to design changes and customer requirements. Based on the developed assembly process, we built an assembly line and a final tester. Using PFMEA, we identified critical points in the process and developed smart tools to manage them, such as poka-yoke solutions, smart instructions, and sensor-based monitoring of materials and assembly. The suitability of the measurement systems used was verified by MSA. The assembly system was implemented in the production environment, where serial production of the valves was launched.
