Reaching optimal assembly control in manufacturing is so important as it directly influences the quality, efficiency, and consistency of the final product. Attaining the optimal level of control in this context entails fine-tuning each step of the assembly process to achieve the best possible outcome in terms of product quality, production speed, cost-effectiveness, and overall customer satisfaction.
We’ve gone over the unique selling points of Avantguard, but one of the biggest selling points that often goes unnoticed is the ability to help you reach your optimal assembly control.
As your comprehensive error proofing solution, Avantguard offers:
- Step-by-step interactive operator guidance
- Clear rework process
- Advanced error proofing features
- Out-of-the-box solution with minimal IT effort
- Service Level Agreements
Pairing the comprehensive error proofing solution capabilities with the ability to feature a service starter package for seamless software implementation as well as a stable software solution and secured system availability, Avantguard is helping you reach your optimal assembly control.
After Avantguard is installed on a server, all stations within it are configured together (tools, barcode scanners, product recipes, and operator instructions). Then, the assembly process begins that looks like this:
- Operator badges in (if required)
- Operator scans product barcode
- Avantguard triggers the correct work processes according to the product variant
- After work is complete, results are sent back to ToolsNet 8
The advanced data collection feature allows for the storage of Avantguard process results data into ToolsNet 8. Integrating with ToolsNet 8 provides full process traceability through product and station reports as well as powerful analytics tools like trend analysis. These features provide you with an early detection of negative trends, prevention of production stoppages, allows you to quickly respond to quality claims with comprehensive product reports, and improves the overall production efficiency allowing for best assembly control.
To sum it up
In a rapidly evolving global marketplace, where competition is fierce, and consumer demands are ever-changing, achieving optimal assembly control is no longer a luxury but a necessity. Manufacturers that prioritize assembly control are better positioned to deliver high-quality products, respond quickly to market demands, and maintain a competitive edge. By investing in error proofing solutions like Avantguard, companies can enhance their assembly processes and ensure they remain agile and adaptable in an increasingly dynamic business environment.
