In our thesis we developed various concepts of smart self-configurable grab containers for manual assembly workstation (MPS) in Industry 4.0. The container function is primarily the storage and handling components and parts (SD) during the assembly process. In the design phase, we followed Industry 4.0 guidelines, which is characterized by the use of advanced technologies such as machine vision (MV), RFID, pick by light... The goal of the thesis was to design the grab container that is highly configurable according to the employee's constitution, ergonomic principles and product for high productivity. From the theoretical starting points and reviewed literature, we presented the different variants of the grab containers, their components and the solutions that are available on the market. Based on morphological matrix and our research, six concepts of grab containers were developed and described. The concepts were evaluated according to the technological, ergonomic and realisation criteria. The best-valued concept was described in details and the 3D model of it was made.
