  As the COVID-19 pandemic expands, the shortening of medical equipment is
swelling. A key piece of equipment getting far-out attention has been
ventilators. The difference between supply and demand is substantial to be
handled with normal production techniques, especially under social distancing
measures in place. The study explores the rationale of human-robot teams to
ramp up production using advantages of both the ease of integration and
maintaining social distancing. The paper presents a model for faster
integration of collaborative robots and design guidelines for workstation. The
scenarios are evaluated for an open source ventilator through continuous
human-robot simulation and amplification of results in a discrete event
simulation.
