چکیده
A. Misztal, M. Butlewski, A. Jasiak, S. Janik, Poznan University of Technology, Poznan, Poland An increasing competition in the foundry market focuses on more efficient methods of production. High quality and efficiency requirements, but also rising labor costs, will make the foundry production largely automated. Currently, molding on automatic lines accounts for 40 % of the foundry production in Poland. The article discusses organizational, technical and ergonomic implications of automation in production processes and presents the results of research carried out in this field in Polish foundries.
