Despite the high level of automation in the automotive industry, wire harness manufacturing still relies heavilylargely depends on manual assembly. This is due to the significant challenges posed by the process, such as the complexity of perceiving and manipulating flexible materials and the high degree of customization required. As a result, existing solutions only address specific assembly tasks, rather than the entire processare fragmented, unable to scale to full production, and remain economically unviable for high-mix scenarios. To bridge this gap, this paper presents a novel robotic system for fully automating wire harness assembly. The system adopts a task-level programming methodology that leverages process knowledge to enable fast and easy reconfiguration. Additionally, it incorporates specific solutions to address key challenges in multi-branch wire harness manipulation, such as cable separation and entanglement prevention. The system’s performance was evaluated in two real-world assembly scenarios using a dual-arm robot. Experimental results demonstrate the system’s effectiveness and ease of reconfiguration, achieving success rates of 55% and 73% in two complex multi-branch wire harness assembly processes, and highlight areas of improvement, which will be further investigated in future works. The system repository is openly available allowing other researchers to build their solutions upon the proposed methodology.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16227,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Manufacturing Systems","volume":"83 ","pages":"Pages 577-596"},"PeriodicalIF":14.2,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145416704","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Existing prediction models in this domain are often deterministic, lacking the ability to quantify uncertainty and capture hierarchical data dependencies, which limits their reliability for operational use. This study addresses this gap by developing a hierarchical Bayesian learning framework for power consumption prediction in customized stainless-steel manufacturing. The objective is to design models that not only achieve high predictive accuracy but also provide calibrated uncertainty estimates to support risk-aware production decisions. Four models, i.e., Hierarchical Bayesian Linear Regression (HBLR), Hierarchical Bayesian Neural Network (HBNN), Fully Connected Neural Network (FCN), and One-Dimensional Convolutional Neural Network (1D-CNN), were implemented and benchmarked using three inference algorithms: No-U-Turn Sampler (NUTS), Automatic Differentiation Variational Inference (ADVI), and Stein Variational Gradient Descent (SVGD). The innovation lies in systematically quantifying uncertainty using coverage probability, sharpness, and calibration error, and in establishing a unified comparison between probabilistic and deterministic models. Results show that the HBLR–NUTS model achieves the best trade-off between accuracy (RMSE = 11.85) and calibration quality (coverage <span><math><mo>≈</mo></math></span> 0.98), while ADVI offers near-equivalent performance with significantly lower computation time.

The disassembly line balancing problem (DLBP) aims to optimize task allocation to improve performance indicators such as cycle time. However, in practical scenarios, the states of EOL product components are often uncertain during the disassembly process. To tackle this challenge, we propose a DLBP with uncertain component states (DLB-UCS) model, which incorporates component state changes as dynamic factors during EOL product disassembly. Unlike conventional DLBP models, DLB-UCS supports real-time adaptation to uncertain changes, making it more consistent with industrial conditions. To solve this problem, we develop a causal inference-based dynamic multi-objective evolutionary algorithm (CI-DMOEA) that simultaneously minimizes the total disassembly cycle time and the number of robotic units required. In particular, a causal feature selection technique based on conditional independence testing is used for efficient initial population generation, enhancing adaptability in dynamic environments.

Driven by advanced manufacturing technologies, the key factor affecting product quality has shifted from various manufacturing stages to the final assembly stage. Currently, automated assembly solutions are constrained by technical bottlenecks and cost pressures, making them difficult to implement; as a result, assembly tasks still rely heavily on manual operations. To adapt to fierce market competition and production changes, manufacturers must strive to automate pipeline assembly. For this purpose, this paper proposes an automated flexible tooling system for pre-welding positioning and assembly quality evaluation. The system adopts a multiple collaborative robots’ architecture and performs reconfigurable assembly in a human-robot collaboration (HRC) mode. The specific implementation steps are as follows: first, workers install connectors on the fixtures of each robot's end effector, adjust them to an appropriate posture, and obtain the spatial posture data of the connectors through scanning; subsequently, a method for determining registration schemes is developed on the basis of the structural characteristics of the connectors. The feature elements are further extracted, and data registration is completed through human-computer interaction (HCI); then, an improved NSGA-III method that integrates the Levenshtein Distance Congestion Elimination (LCE) method is proposed. This method incorporates three types of constraints: obstacle avoidance constraints for the collaborative movement of multiple collaborative robots, feasibility constraints for robot movement, and rotational angle constraints for connectors. It solves the multi-objective optimization problem among total assembly time, uniformity of time allocation, and energy consumption, enabling rapid and efficient robot posture reconstruction; finally, simulation and experimental verification of the system are conducted. The field assembly verification results demonstrate that the assembly quality is significantly improved compared with that of traditional and recent representative algorithms.
