**4. Use Case**

A good assembly process plan can increase efficiency and quality, and decrease cost and time of the whole manufacturing process [41]; thus the design step is critical to achieving a successful implementation. For this reason, the proposed approach is applied to the design, implementation, and operation of an assembly manufacturing process, where humans and robots work collaboratively. This is a very representative case for different manufacturing industries wherein the final product is the result of the integration of several parts, such as aerospace, automotive, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, and electronics industries. Thus, it is very likely to find potential applications to create flexible and easily reconfigurable production lines.
