PurposeWith the successive German Industry 4.0 strategies proposed, many collaborative robots are being used in manufacturing. The man-robot collaborative assembly model is now widely used in bilateral assembly lines. The purpose of this study is to systematically investigate the problem of balancing the man-robot collaborative bilateral assembly line by considering the workload to reduce the workload and increase productivity.Design/methodology/approachBased on optimizing the beat and cost, focusing on the balance of working time and load between stations, introducing a comprehensive smoothing index optimization objective and considering constraints such as the number of employees, robots and workload thresholds, a balanced multi-objective planning model of a man-robot serial collaborative bilateral assembly line with consideration of workload is established.FindingsThe bilateral assembly line balancing problem was solved using man-robot collaboration. The production smoothing index was optimized from 508.65 to 105.68, and the cycle time was optimized from 1,737 to 1,067, resulting in a 38.6% increase in productivity.Originality/valueThis study optimizes man-robot allocation and extends the bilateral assembly equilibrium model by optimizing the personnel load and the integrated smoothing index.
