Abstract
In cell production, the output depends heavily on the performance of the worker. Assembly information support is useful to support the worker. The objective of this study is to develop a framework to organize assembly information to support production operation. It is illustrated by an application of a production operation in laboratory simulation. Assembly motion of skilled worker is extracted and the assembly process is decomposed into operational units, which linked with support information to set up the information database. New assembly process with information support can then be generated and implemented with multimodal system to assist production operation.
