Automotive end-of-line testing is facing a continuing challenge to adapt routines for a wider range of model choices, options and functionalities. As a result, bespoke testing is often required for each variant, increasing the risk of human error and slowing down production. With fully automated end-of-line testing that combines IIoT, Thin Client and Artificial Intelligence capabilities, you can help deliver faster and more consistent results, with reduced human error and greater cost-effectiveness.
Reduce Costs with Automated End-of-Line Testing
Ensure a quick return on investment and long-term cost savings
Automated end-of-line testing doesn’t just reduce the time and labor costs involved throughout the process, it also allows you to focus manual testing on where it’s needed most. As a result, you can increase consistency and quality throughout your testing while cutting labor costs:
- Increase precision and speed with collaborative robots
- Ensure low failure rates and run testing 24/7 with Smart Vision systems
- Deliver more consistent results worldwide with operator-less EOL testing stations
Improve Productivity Through AR and IIoT Analytics
Pass more products first time and predict issues before they happen
Without complete control over the assembly process, it can often result in faults in parts that have already been assembled. By connecting each station to a common network though the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), you can access real-time data and machine learning to help you pre-empt issues before they occur. Plus, with InnovationSuite™ Vuforia augmented reality (AR), operators can use digitized work instructions and real-time performance data to improve first-time pass rates and rework efficiency.
