Revolutionize Your Assembly Line with Avantguard and Industrial Location Systems

3 minute de citit Martie 04, 2025

In the ever-evolving world of manufacturing, staying ahead of the curve requires both efficiency and exceptional product quality. However, the complexity of assembly processes, such as tightening different types of bolts, assembling various parts, and following specific sequences, can be challenging even for expert operators.

Parts that need to hold liquids, withstand high pressure, or where the slightest deformation caused by an incorrect tightening sequence would render them scrap, require precise control over the tightening sequence. It is also beneficial in cases where an operator needs to tighten or re-tighten multiple times, as it can be difficult for operators to keep track of which joints they have already fastened and which they have not. The risk of missing a bolt or tightening the wrong one increases, leading to potential errors and inefficiencies.

Specific Applications Include:

  • Battery Assembly
  • Cylinder Heads
  • Combustion Engines
  • Hydraulic Systems
  • Pneumatic Systems

In these critical applications, the precision and reliability provided by Avantguard and ILS are essential. By ensuring that every bolt is tightened correctly and in the right sequence, manufacturers can achieve unparalleled product quality and operational excellence. This not only minimizes the risk of defects but also enhances overall efficiency.

Error-Proofing for Precision and Efficiency

Avantguard offers a revolutionary approach to error-proofing, transforming assembly processes across all product variants. This innovative system not only detects errors but also guides operators through complex tasks and repair processes, making it an essential tool for modern manufacturing operations. By providing clear, step-by-step guidance with instant error detection, Avantguard simplifies the intricate assembly process, ensuring exceptional product quality and operational excellence.

Seamless Integration with Industrial Location Spotpoint

Combining Avantguard with the Industrial Location Spotpoint (ILS) ensures that critical bolts are tightened correctly, in the right sequence, and with full traceability. Avantguard’s operator guidance system instructs operators throughout the entire assembly process, prompting them to tighten bolts in a specific sequence and enabling the ILS system and tools.

Avantguard’s system is easily configurable to accommodate different product variants. Once the process is completed, results are displayed on the screen and reported into ToolsNet8 for further data analytics. This integration streamlines production, making it more efficient and error-free.

Advantages of Avantguard & ILS

Instant Error Detection

Instant Error Detection

The system can instantly detect misuse of tools, materials, or operators, preventing errors before they occur. This minimizes rework and scrap, ensuring the right bolt is tightened in the right sequence.

Process Traceability

Avantguard provides full traceability of each product, which is crucial for quality control.

Reduce Downtime

By detecting errors in real-time, Avantguard minimizes the risk of defects spreading throughout the production line.

 

By integrating Avantguard with an Industrial Location Spotpoint, manufacturers can achieve a more streamlined, efficient, and error-free production environment. This powerful combination ensures that every step in the assembly process is executed flawlessly, leading to unmatched product quality and operational efficiency.
