In manufacturing, it isn’t uncommon to have tightening applications where all the fasteners need to be tightened in a specific sequence. This technique allows operators to achieve a uniform clamp load, which is why it is essential that operators correctly follow the sequence while tightening. Quality issues arise when the tightening sequence isn’t followed. This is what caused our customer to reach out to our experts.

At Atlas Copco, we know the importance of tightening sequences, which is why our experts design tools and solutions that can help guide operators through the process. This ensures that the sequence is followed precisely by alerting operators when bolts are incorrectly tightened according to the sequence. When our customer reached out, we knew just the solution they needed for their assembly: Industrial Location SpotPoint 2.0.

So, what is Industrial Location SpotPoint 2.0?

Ditch the cables with Industrial Location SpotPoint 2.0! ILS is a location-based solution that uses software, all-in-one sensors, and passive tags to track the tools or parts and guide operators through the tightening process. This allows your operators to get the tightening done right the first time.

Improving quality for a major automotive manufacture

To increase our customer’s quality and productivity, we suggested they incorporate ILS into their assembly. ILS would work alongside their pre-existing DC tooling for a complete error-proofing system.

To prove our system was the best for their assembly, we held a remote demo to illustrate its capabilities. In this way, we were able to showcase our solution to a large group, ensuring that our product would be the best fit for their assembly needs. We were able to prove this to them, and since implementation, our solution has helped them reach their goal of achieving a reduction in defects and increasing their quality.
