Understand how Industrial Location SpotPoint 2.0 (ILS) provides wireless freedom while improving quality and reducing the cost of rework and downtime

Enhance the advantages of wireless tools with Industrial Location SpotPoint 2.0

6 minute(s) to read

Wireless freedom has many benefits. It brings about improved productivity and speed on the line while also doing away with bulky, tiresome cables. But there can also be some downsides to complete wireless freedom, such as reduced product quality and higher costs due to scrapping and rework, which ultimately increases downtime.

 

So, how can this be corrected? Atlas Copco has the solution, and it doesn’t involve giving up your wireless tools! It’s called Industrial Location SpotPoint (ILS) 2.0 and it’s here to help. ILS is a wireless, bolt-level error proofing system for battery powered tools, low reaction tools, and more. Read on to learn how Atlas Copco’s Industrial Location Spotpoint provides operator assistance and improved quality assurance and leading to reduced rework costs, while still offering freedom and flexibility.

Don’t give up wireless freedom

Wireless solutions have many advantages, and Industrial Location SpotPoint is made to enhance those advantages while it optimizes your production, productivity, and quality! ILS is a completely wireless system that locates the tools with vision technology, this means that no articulated arms are needed for the system to work. Simply place a location tag on the tool to experience the freedom and flexibility of wireless tools paired with a system that tracks the movements of the connected tools, the torque applied to bolts, and the correct bolt tightening sequence if the application requires it.

Quality assurance and better error proofing

ILS aligns perfectly with Industry 4.0 in regards to quality assurance techniques. ILS guides operators by tracking the torque being applied to bolts and the correct bolt tightening sequence if the application requires it. This is because ILS is compatible with the same software as our Industrial Location Guidance (ILG) solution, enabling visual operator guidance during assembly. The operator guidance system of ILG and ILS enhances error proofing in cases where operators are using tools with a good line of sight.

Reduce the cost of rework

Our tools can create and run torque sequences. In this way, if there are several bolts with differing torque requirements, operators just have to apply the correct torque to its corresponding bolt. But what happens if the correct torque isn’t applied to the right bolt? Since the tool will have performed all three tightening with the right torque results, the system will believe everything is okay and move on.

 

With a bolt-level positioning system, such as Atlas Copco’s Industrial Location SpotPoint, we can make sure what bolt we are applying the torque value to, ensuring that not only the torque result is correct, but that also it has been applied in the right joint. This ultimately reduces errors and defects, company costs, and downtime.

To sum it up

Atlas Copco’s bolt-level error proofing system – ILS, is designed to enhance the advantages of cordless tools. ILS allows operators to experience wireless freedom and error proofing features that reduce the cost of rework and downtime. This boosts operational productivity and ensures a high level of product quality.
