Abstract

The term Levels of Automation is defined in this paper as the interaction and task division between the human and the machine within a manufacturing system. This paper presents a model for identifying manufacturing parameters to control automation levels. The results show that different parameters are identified as capabilities that affect the level of automation and the output of the system. Conclusion is that the model presented can serve as a way to control and choose the right level of automation by adjusting either input parameters or the level of automation which together with performance measures form a continuous system.
