Advance technologies to accelerate project deployment
The automotive industry is very dynamic and requires extreme flexibility from automotive manufacturers. The growing global competition demands smart production systems, combined with flexible logistics systems. They can be adapted quickly and thus also serve the ever-increasing demand for model diversity. In addition to the installation, a simple operation of the system plays an important role.
Automotive manufacturers increasingly find that they have to expand their core competencies in areas ranging from the automotive industry to mobility or even to redefine those areas. They are only able to stand in the competition if they could cope with developments around Industry 4.0, demographic change, and data-driven production
Rounding back to automotive automation machines, the biggest advancements in this field that are hitting the market and being adopted more and more are:
Inspecting work, testing, analyzing – all of these things can be achieved by robots that are equipped with machine vision. This helps eliminate the need for human intervention and speeds production times even further. Robots that are equipped with machine vision technology can use advanced processes such as infrared imaging, hyperspectral imaging, X-ray imaging, and line-scan imaging. The image that is captured is then analyzed by specialized analysis software within the machine, ensuring precision each time.
Collaborative robots can work independently using AI, yet may still require some human interaction for programming or working on a project together. The use of co-bots in the auto industry has propelled certain manufacturers above their competitors due to speed, precision, and targeted outcomes.
The overall trajectory of automotive automation has soared since its inception and it doesn’t show any signs of slowing down any time soon. As robotic technology advances further, manufacturers can benefit from embracing this technology as well as the changing landscape of customer demand.
