Industry Challenges
The regulations of occupational safety and health have made it impossible to use hand-held welding equipment in the car manufacturing factory since those have become too bulky and unwieldy. Also, a minimum distance between the welding gun and the operator is necessary to prevent radiation hazards. With the aids of robots to place the panel parts on the joining stations and weld them, all the employees have to do is load the stations and monitor the machines. This process guarantees safety, a better production process, and quality.
The assembly of automobiles, as well as other vehicles, requires accuracy and precision. The intelligent and steady hands of robotic assemblers are almost a necessity these days. As cars become more complex and include more electronics and safety measures, assembly robots are needed heavily on running applications for the major and minor components – painting, dispensing, sealing, welding robots, etc.
- Data collection from the robotic automation system
Optimizing the advantages of robot precision manufacturing by collecting data from machine processes to develop better production systems, machine learning, and development.
- Dusty environment, strong vibrations, and often drops
Devices used around the workshop are subject to often drops, strong shaking of the tools cart, and work in dusty environments.
- Displaying comprehensive diagrams and charts
It is hard to accurately diagnose a vehicle without diagrams, charts, and graphs that describe car status. The device must be big enough to display sufficient vehicle information and test plans but portable to carry around the workshop.
- Working in gloves
Car mechanics usually work in gloves to perform car inspections, and sometimes they have to use an IT device's touch screen while wearing gloves.
