Sammanfattning
The car manufacturing industry has experienced a significant transformation, with many companies
transitioning towards the production of electric vehicles. Volvo Cars is among these companies, placing a
strong emphasis on electric vehicles and actively exploring innovative and efficient solutions. One such
solution involves the implementation of an open floor technology for assembling high voltage batteries in
their cars. This thesis aims to develop a tightening process layout and technical solution for battery
assembly in Volvo's electric vehicles, specifically focusing on the Slovakia factory. The study will
investigate different technical solutions, including manual, automated, and semi-automated tooling. The
production platform is capable of manufacturing multiple car models. The thesis will provide a general
description of the production processes to maintain flexibility for producing alternative car models. The
thesis includes a comparison and recommendation for automated or manual setup for the Slovakian factory
and a developed new concept.
