摘要：

This study explores the automation enhancement in the assembly process of wiring harnesses for automotive applications, focusing on manually inserting fuses and relays into boxes-a task known for quality and efficiency challenges. This research aimed to address these challenges by implementing a robotic arm integrated with API technology for digital twin. The methods used included the development of a digital twin model to simulate and monitor the assembly process, supported by real-time adjustments and optimizations. The results showed that the robotic system significantly improved the accuracy and speed of fuse insertion, reducing the insertion errors typically seen in manual operations. The conclusions drawn from the research confirm the feasibility of using robotic automation supported by digital twin technology to enhance assembly processes in automotive manufacturing, promising substantial improvements in production efficiency and quality control.
