   Abstract:
   The requirement to quickly change a product, the need to deliver high quality component, and a desire to reduce manufacturing related costs has led to the development of flexible work-cells. Integration of different sensors along with the careful selection/design of fixtures can add to the flexibility of a work-cell. Furthermore, an effective control of hardware in a flexible work-cell can increase the efficiency of a work-cell. This can be achieved by using available software (such as MATLAB, C++) to integrate the hardware for programming. This technique also leads to the control of a work-cell that is both real time and user-friendly. The strategy is demonstrated with the help of an example where two different types of assemblies were carried out in the same setup of a flexible work-cell.
