Avantguard® Process Control

Doing it right, the first time

Avantguard streamlines assembly by connecting to shop floor devices, primarily Atlas Copco's tightening tools, handheld battery tools, wrenches, and multi-spindle controllers. ​

 

It ensures tools activate only when necessary and with the correct parameters. For intricate processes, it offers operator guidance via on-screen instructions accessible through a web browser, tailored to product variants and options. ​

 

Avantguard integrates with Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) to retrieve assembly information and ensures traceability by collecting results for each step. ​

 

These results aid in generating product reports and identifying areas for improvement. Additionally, they assist operators in repairing faulty products.​
