The customisation capability reflects in terms of reduced vehicles downtime and increased assignment of supervision jobs to vulnerable users. Moreover, the maintenance phases are shortened resulting in less downtime that provides an increase of the productivity of the total system (human and automation).
The use of the INCLUSIVE HMI leads to a 4.2 % reduction in the average time required. For the second use case, the use of the INCLUSIVE HMI leads to a much larger decrease in execution time of 69.7 % when compared to the current HMI system. Moreover, a usability questionnaire has been filled in by testers, allowing to conclude that the INCLUSIVE HMI was perceived as an improvement with regards to the current HMI for all dimensions, for instance frequently usage, complexity, ease of use, functions, consistency, and learning effort.
The introduction of the hybrid robot/bender panel system allows to reach production efficiency and accuracy, and a more flexible interchange of operators with different characteristics.
A4BLUE | Adaptive Automation in Assembly For BLUE collar workers satisfaction in Evolvable context

Adaptation to human variation is boosted, reducing work requirements and worker’s physical demands without incrementing mental and cognitive workload. Additionally, safety and trust in collaborative workplaces are risen while improving usability and human satisfaction. Reconfigurability and flexibility are also improved, as well as efficiency due to the reduction of displacements.
The goals for this use case include assembly time reduction, minimization of errors, and increase of efficiency, productivity and quality. What is more, with AR training and learn-by-doing method adoption, productivity of newcomers is also increased. Finally, a full quality assurance approach and traceability for supervision is enabled.
Improved technician satisfaction has been noted, as well as reduced process times and improved process efficiency with reduced errors. Moreover, the assembly process has benefited from better ergonomics and shorter waste time.
In the deburring process, manual labor is reduced, resulting in improved ergonomic and safety conditions. Moreover, process variability is reduced while quality and productivity, increased. In the assembly process, training time has been reduced with the AR solution and access to centralized documentation is faster, with greater transparency and ease of use while its maintenance costs have been reduced.

As a result of the project, Airbus DS will be able to reduce the time to market of new aircraft and aircraft systems significantly, due to the important improvements in ergonomic and interactive workplaces, helping to increase the flexibility and pliability of the different production lines.
Thanks to the use of HUMAN technology, COMAU assembly lines are more flexible to the anthropometric, physical and cognitive needs of the workers, and hence to the cognitive and physical requirements of variable operations of variable orders. This will reduce the setup and production times.
Through the solutions of HUMAN, it will be possible to process the production in smaller batches increasing the adaptability of each production line to all workers. Furthermore, HUMAN will enable ROYO to increase flexibility and adaptability in every production line at the shop floor, based on the ability to manage/predict their own effort during the shift avoiding pains beforehand, and moreover to eliminate waste and reduce errors and stress.
