The human-robot collaboration (HRC) is an integral part of numerous research activities. The combination of the positive capabilities of human workers and robots ensures a high resource efficiency and productivity. However, especially the planning and implementation of HRC applications requires the consideration of several issues like the economic feasibility, acceptance of employees and in particular technical practicability. Based on the study of existing approaches which consider different technical or economic issues, we present a new method to identify suitable areas of HRC applications within assembly systems and to estimate the optimal allocation of human-related and automated subtasks. Finally, our approach is verified in an assembly line for terminal strips which in turn arises from an industrial use case.
