Staying competitive in today’s automotive manufacturing space requires lean efficiency at every level of production. Simultaneously, modern automotive components tend to be relatively complex, demanding extremely precise manufacturing and assembly operations. That’s why automotive manufacturers increasingly turn to special purpose machines to automate and streamline their assembly processes.
At Advanced Systems and Controls, the automotive manufacturing industry is one of our main focuses. Our company is backed by extensive experience in the total design, production, and integration of special purpose automotive assembly systems. Our turnkey equipment is engineered from the ground up to simplify your part assembly process while integrating seamlessly into your existing production line.
The Advantages of ASC’s Automated Automotive Assembly Systems:
Increased Efficiency and Production Capacity
Automated assembly systems work around the clock without taking a break, which massively expands your production capacity. Whether you’re trying to meet high-volume requirements or tackle on-demand/just-in-time manufacturing projects, automating your automotive assembly processes gives you the efficiency you need to keep costs down without compromising on quality.
Minimizing Errors in Manufacturing and Assembly
Automation ensures precision, consistency, and repeatability throughout the assembly process. It virtually eliminates the possibility of human errors and ultimately ensures less rejected parts. The result is overall higher quality products with fewer defects while simultaneously reducing the labor required in quality control.
Potential Cost Savings per Part
While the initial cost of investment in custom automated assembly systems can be significant, the equipment inevitably leads to long-term cost savings. Automation not only reduces labor costs associated with manual assembly, it also minimizes material waste via precise process control and monitoring. Essentially, every product is assembled as efficiently as possible with machines doing most of the legwork.
Flexibility and Adaptability
ASC’s automated assembly systems are custom designed to be flexible and easily integrated into each automotive manufacturer’s unique production line. This flexibility allows your operation to quickly adapt to market demands or otherwise incorporate new machine features, generally without the need for significant retooling.
Improving Worker Safety
Automated assembly systems perform the manual labor tasks that are often repetitive, strenuous, or even hazardous for your workers. That frees up your labor to perform other important tasks while also improving workplace safety and reducing the risk of injuries. This is particularly important in the automotive industry where heavy machinery and potentially dangerous industrial assembly processes are common.
Achieving a Competitive Advantage in the Automotive Manufacturing Realm
The implementation of automated assembly systems is a major differentiator for automotive manufacturers to stay competitive in a rapidly evolving industry.
American manufacturers that embrace automation can respond more quickly to international supply chain disruptions as well as changing market demands. They therefore tend to be the manufacturers that can innovate more effectively for new projects and maintain higher product quality/capacity compared to competitors that rely solely on manual labor.
Streamlining Your Automotive Production Line with Automated Assembly Processes
ASC specializes in the total design, manufacturing, and integration of custom automated assembly systems for the automotive manufacturing sector and beyond. Since 1990, our company has remained the nation’s leader in producing special purpose equipment to meet the evolving needs of automotive assembly.
