In an industrial context, the term "assembly" refers to the process of assembling individual parts or components to form a finished product. This process can be manual, semi-automatic or fully automatic. Assembly involves several steps such as joining, screwing, gluing, soldering or welding parts. The aim is to create a high-quality end product with the least possible expenditure of time and resources.
In industry, assembly is usually integrated into a production line. Work stations are arranged in a specific order to make the assembly of the product efficient and cost-effective.
