The integration of digital technologies to promote digitization is essential for the competitiveness ofmanufacturing enterprises. As part of the production process, the manual assembly is subject of thisdigitizing change process. According to recent studies the integration of digital technologies is primarilylimited to scenarios in larger enterprises or prototype applications. For companies with a manual assemblysegment at a lower level of digitization these scenarios, adequately aggregated, potentially contain importantinsights related to the choice of appropriate digital technologies. An investigation of these scenarios, forexample in the form of a qualitative study, therefore seems appropriate. In advance of such an investigation,however, the scope of the investigation, the manual assembly area, must be modeled in order to be able todepict specific situations in the scenarios under investigation. Secondly, the spectrum of digital technologiescurrently used in manual assembly must be identified and described. The latter is the topic of this paper. Theauthors of this paper aims to create a framework for describing and classifying digital technologies in manualassembly on the basis of their functions.
