Human Centered Automation System for ELV Disassembly Line

Since there are so many types of end of life vehicle need to be worked on the disassembly line. Especially, there parameters and the state are different, thus, it is difficult to use generally termed automation for disassembly work. In this paper, the concept of human centered automation is explained and applied on the field of disassembly line for end of life vehicle. Firstly, the state information of end of life vehicle is acquired by the human expert. And then, with RFID technology and expert system, the operating information is created and displayed on the screen of each work station of the disassembly line. By this means, the disassembly work can be finished by the workers according to the basic information. The detailed disassembly operation still finished based on the experience and knowledge of workers. In the end, a case study is given and discussed.
