Atlas Copco tools assemble 73% of all the seats globally

A lot of safety critical joints are in a seats where quality and productivity demands are very high. Seating quality problems discovered in the final assembly plants impact production. When found on the final assembly line, downtime is extremely costly. Atlas Copco services start already at the design phase where we offer professional services to support joint analysis and specifications and theredor have the solutions to reduce the risks of unplaned stops.

Flexible stations

Atlas Copco offers station structures designed with high flexibility for seating applications. This boom designed to be standard product reducing the need for engineering. Our open design produces a station with mounting for your controller, torque arm and accessories via integrated side mounts

Quality

A lot of safety critical joints are in a seats where quality and productivity demands are very high and we have the future of assembly. Smart Connected Assembly is our way of describing how our products and services, today, can support the vision of Industry 4.0 and where we can bring value in you production production

Collecting data for analysis

We collect the data from the production process and we have data collection and analyzing products and services to help optimize the production process

Atlas Copco start already at the design phase when developing the best in class smart factory solutions

Seat manufacturing quality is extremely important not only in the seating plant but is also critical to your customers. Seating quality problems discovered in the Final Assembly plants impact production. When found on the final assembly line, downtime is extremely costly. Commonly resulting in chargebacks for lost production of the vehicle. Our products are connected within the Atlas Copco ecosystem but also with open Interface to MES systems and other devices on the line using open field-bus communications. When the production is up and running, a lot of data is generated. 1. Collect the Data 2. Analyze the Data 3. Notify and propose corrective actions 4. Act to prevent failures.

Flexible stations with Power Focus 6000 Virtual Station

Go to the Power Focus 6000 and assembly solutions

The Power Focus station offers solutions with high flexibility for seating applications. The flexible stations eliminates the need for hardware on the stations. New wireless stations can be added by simply adding new Virtual Stations.

Superior Traceability

Go to the error proofing solutions

The fourth industrial revolution, the digitalization of manufacturing and assembly, Industry 4.0. We call it Smart Connected Assembly. The assembly of the future can benefit from the new technology in many areas including quality, process performance and overall cost efficiency. The assembly process, maintenance service shifts to guarantee tools availability, future new services based on big data analytics, support to R&D and simulation of assembly processes, automation of supporting processes like operator guidance and quality assurance. Based on big data analytics we expect future new services to optimize the entire end to end production and logistic process. Bottlenecks can be identified and process flows synchronized. Comparison with best practice and knowledge transfer from other lines will be simplified all in favor of improved overall factory performance. With the new information utilization of assets can be monitored and the use of assets optimized. We work with data driven services and have multiple software solutions to fit your needs and processes. Toolsnet8 for collecting tightening data and big data analysis, Toolstalk2 for configurations and SQS for operator guidance. Several softwares and products for quality control.

Bolt Level position sensing is necessary to error proof fastening stations to 100%. Atlas Copco offers many flexible solutions to meet this requirement. We offer a complete error proofing solution for the station with everything from tightening assembly control to accessories. With the flexability offered by our standard solutions new products stations can be moved our modified quickly and allow the operator to move from fastener to fastener in a fluid motion.
