A system for producing reinforcing cages for wind turbine tower segments, wherein a reinforcing cage has in each case substantially horizontally oriented ring segments and substantially vertically oriented stiffening elements. It is proposed that the system has a receiving area which is adapted so as to receive the preferably inner, substantially horizontally oriented ring segments of the reinforcing cage, a first handling robot for supplying and positioning the stiffening elements, and a second handling robot for connecting the ring elements to the stiffening elements.
