With our Smart Connected Assembly concept combining software, hardware, smart tools and accessories you maintain process control in complex production systems, increase uptime in production critical operations and raise your product quality. Get full traceability of the complete product build process, also including rework and repair!
Right first time
Step-by-step visual operator guidance as well as part and tool verification to minimize defects, rework and avoid damage parts or waste.
Improve productivity
Lower production costs and improved productivity. Align up to 10 stations including pre-station check and rework without server installation. Save time using our remote centralized configuration and service offering with full support from installation to long-term onsite service and 24/7 hotline
Digitalize and collect data
Traceability of all assembly actions including also missed or wrong tasks from all stations, parts and products. Full overview and perfect preparation for rework or repair station to avoid defect products leaving the plant.
Transform smart factory manufacturing and discover how you can achieve a zero-defect strategy implementing process control and error-proofing in your product assembly.
Central management of workstations
Organize all workstations across the shopfloor from a single, easy configuration interface.
Tool Interlock
Enable and disable DC tools and wrenches via the controller. Use automatic program or job selection.
Visual operator guidance
Step-by-step visual operator guidance guarantees that everything is done right the first time, every single time.
Digital I/O capability
Enable easy connectivity of external I/O devices eliminating the need for a PLC.
Basic pick-to-light/pick-by-light
Visually guide operators in picking parts from bins based on digital I/O capability.
User access control
Prevent unauthorized system access enforcing user roles and privileges.
Part verification and documentation
Identify parts by means of serial numbers or product IDs to ensure the correct parts are being used to build a product.
Product rework
Detection of errors in production process and automatic guidance through the repair process at dedicated rework stations.
Consolidated data collection
Traceability of all assembly actions (torque, parts, digital I/O, manual confirmation) and missed tasks from all stations and all products.
Easy and convenient access to collected data via web UI.
