Analysis of the System Handling Using Methods of Structural Complexity Management

The use of industrial grippers induces to deal with the system grippers are embedded in. Besides the gripper this includes the environment, the handling device the gripper is attached to, the task the gripper should perform and the part to be handled. All this domains form the system handling. The paper analyses this system using different methods of the field of structural complexity management. Objective is to identify the most important and most influential factors governing the system.
