The paper presents the results of the experimental researches carried out in order to increase the productivity of the processing process for part of the automotive industry. Thus, by increasing the volume of parts ordered by the recipient, research has been done to make a manufacturing cell having the ability to obtain a competitive unitary time. Manufacturing cells that are equipped with one or more industrial robots, machine tools with numerical control and auxiliary components (conveyors, equipment, etc.) have a rather old concept that has evolved and has reached a high level today. The machines integration in a flexible manufacturing cell is the way of making profitable the use of machines with numeric control. If they exist alone, the human users, that works on the cell, would be forced to make manually the download of machining programs, and to take decisions themselves, in real time. These decisions are related with the complex resources management, as machining time, machining tools and raw material.
