Abstract

The study delved into the visual assembly process planning and information systems within the context of the ever-evolving manufacturing landscape. The manufacturing sector had witnessed a shift from traditional assembly methods, often plagued by inefficient manual processes, to a more technologically advanced approach involving 3D visualization and information systems. The aim of this study was to improve assembly processes' efficiency, accuracy, and flexibility.

Incorporating insights from existing literature, the study outlined the significance of visual assembly process planning using immersive virtual reality and virtual reality technology in enhancing assembly efficiency and product quality. Additionally, the study emphasized the impact of digital assembly based on virtual assembly process planning on productivity and quality. These technologies optimized the assembly process, reduced errors, and improved product quality, with practical applications for the manufacturing industry.

Nonetheless, challenges, including system integration issues, had hindered the seamless integration of assembly systems and technologies, affecting efficiency and quality. To overcome these challenges, a comprehensive plan was presented. This plan spanned various aspects of manufacturing, such as organizational structure, product diversification, workforce optimization, technology integration, quality enhancement, and cost reduction, culminating in profitability enhancement.

The research provided valuable insights for academia and practice, offering a promising path to optimizing production processes, improving assembly efficiency and quality, and reducing carbon emissions. In the face of global climate change, the integration of visual assembly processes in 3C manufacturing enterprises held the potential to enhance competitiveness and contribute to sustainable development.
