Leading agricultural equipment manufacturer CNH Industrial relies on Atlas Copco's smart solution ALTURE® and revolutionizes tightening data analysis in their assembly process. The analysis of tightening data is performed automatically and in real time, allowing any sources of problems to be identified and rectified at an early stage. With this proactive approach, CNH Industrial is taking production quality and productivity to a new level.
The project at a glance
The challenge
The quality of the products depends on a large number of tightening processes in the final assembly. That’s why CNH Industrial must ensure flawless tightening throughout. In the past, the evaluation of tightening data was done manually, which was time-consuming and error-prone. To solve problems before they arise, CNH Industrial has opted for a proactive approach in assembly.
Solution
The data-driven software solution ALTURE® enables CNH Industrial to use all tightening data for comprehensive analysis. The defined technical parameters and standard ranges serve as the basis for evaluating production quality. The intelligent algorithm behind ALTURE® detects frequently occurring anomalies, identifies possible causes and formulates recommendations in real time. Based on the recommendations, corrections in the assembly can be made at an early stage.
Result
Thanks to ALTURE®'s unique sensitivity to deviations in tightening data and intelligent recommendations, CNH Industrial can make the right decisions for the assembly process early on. This has improved initial production and increased productivity significantly. In addition, valuable resources such as materials are now used sparingly, enabling CNH Industrial to lay the foundation for more sustainable production.
