Summary/Abstract: This article discusses solving the problem of choosing an optimal structural variant of an automated assembly system for the assembly of a “Brush holder”. Based on a developed technological process for assembling the product, the partial functions of the assembly system are determined, and alternative variants are developed for their implementation. The set of possible structural variants is constructed, taking into account the compatibility between the devices and the possibility of performing more than one partial function by one device, i.e. the presence of polyfunctional devices. The problem of selecting an optimal structural variant is formulated, the set of criteria for evaluating the alternative variants and the constraints are determined. A mathematical model of the optimization problem is constructed. The formulated multicriteria optimization problem is solved both with equivalent objective functions, and with different priorities.
