Case: Automotive Sub-Assembly
Case outline
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Process | Assembling sub-components into a module |
| Problem | Quality variation and traceability requirements |
| Approach | Robot cells with torque control, vision and data logging |
| Outcome | Consistent assembly with per-unit records |
Implementation notes
- Traceability requirements flow from the vehicle programme, not from the cell.
- Any change to a program affects the part record; change control is essential.
- Line-side space is usually the tightest constraint.
Automotive requirements are set by the customer programme. Confirm specifications with the responsible engineering function.
