Challenge

  • New short-notice requirements from end customers in the automotive industry had to be designed, implemented, and externally audited within one month
  • Quality inspections were to be performed and quality documentation generated automatically during the production process (in-process control)

Solution

  • Preliminary project: analysis of the production environment, system landscape, and interfaces
  • Integration of a wide variety of machines to fully digitize the inspection workflows for all post-processing operations
  • Collection and structuring of quality assurance data, made available on demand in whatever context is needed
  • Scanner-guided palletizing via a dedicated MES user interface

Benefits

  • Automated assurance of product quality at the end of the production and inspection process
  • Customer-specific quality documentation available at any time
