Driving digitalization towards Industry 4.0 is one of the major tasks in high-tech industries. Partnering with the Daimler AG in Germany, Atlas Copco is developing cordless 5G-tools to achieve greater production flexibility and efficiency, with consistently high product quality at the same time.
Since summer 2018, Daimler has been setting the course to make their final assembly stations fit for Industry 4.0. Daimler's aim: Bringing the tightening process to a new level, irrespective of the controller location safeguarding the process and product quality. An official partnership agreement was signed with Atlas Copco.
The new battery tool, a new generation of intelligent EC screw-fastening system, fascinates being lighter, highly flexible with the best of ergonomics to speed up the tightening process without the need of a physical connection to an assembly controller or station.
After proof of concept and field test in 2022, the first lines at Daimler will go live with these high-tech battery tools working in a 5G network technology.

With the SoftTorque project, we are making a huge contribution towards increasing the flexibility of assembly processes.
The 5G mobile networks will revolutionize industrial production.
As a logical step forward, Atlas Copco has installed a 5G-network in one of the factories in Antwerp, Belgium, as well as the integration lab in Stockholm together with Ericsson, Telenor, and Orange. These installations are one of the first implementations of the 5G infrastructure in an industrial setting.
