Barcode and QR code reading

The automotive industry is now also benefiting from proven technology from the beverage industry. Automobile manufacturers use industrial barcode technology for precise control in many places. The system, adapted from the beverage industry, is more flexible and efficient.

The course has been set – for the new ID.4

The ID.4 has been rolling off the production line at the Volkswagen plant in Emden since spring 2022. In future, the plant is to become a pure e-factory. We have automated the electric overhead conveyors for the conveyor technology manufacturer ROFA.

All-rounder with sensitivity

The task of our Bremen robotics specialists was to use an extremely dexterous multifunctional gripper for various tasks in the automotive industry. The idea: To use the sensitive gripping tool for assembly activities or logistical tasks.

E-transformation process at Volkswagen in Emden

While production continues, the company is converting its factory into one of the most modern factories in the automotive industry and a flagship project for electromobility.

Transporting heavy loads quickly and safely

Crane systems are used whenever heavy loads need to be moved: Crane systems. Automotive customers are convinced by the effectiveness of our SCHULZ Crane Systems for special work processes.

Smooth and safe

In automotive manufacturing, automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are increasingly replacing classic push platform or electric monorail conveyors (EMS). For this purpose, we have developed a master control system according to the corporate standard of a car manufacturer.

Connect intelligently and quickly

Without them, nothing connects in the interior of vehicles. Clips that are installed to fix visible parts to the vehicle body. For this purpose, our automotive experts developed a system for automatic assembly.

Automation in the automotive industry: Get the best out of your manufacturing industry

As long-standing experts in assembly technology, robotics in the pressing plant, plant engineering for conveyor technology, body construction, surface and final assembly, we enable you to automate your automotive production efficiently, smoothly and cost-effectively. From system control to drives and components to complex production systems – together with you, we develop a customised solution concept that puts you on the right track at full throttle.

OUR SERVICES FOR THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY

Choose the right service to put your production in the fast lane.

Fast implementation – do without the pit stop!

In addition to our professional expertise, you can expect a particularly innovative way of working from us: Using computer modelling and simulations, we develop and test virtually what we later build for you in reality. This means for you: It doesn’t take a creative imagination to picture your future automated manufacturing.

This is the path we are taking together and digitally. In addition, commissioning times are significantly shorter. There are no long downtimes for setting up the equipment and new processes – this runs in parallel with us. The same applies for resource-saving: Our automation technology is largely self-explanatory and therefore does not require extensive training of your employees.

Increased Productivity, minimised costs: Your advantages

After complete setup, you will have fully maximised the optimisation potential of your production. From now on, you will benefit noticeably from the increased productivity of your manufacturing industry, reduced error rates and free staff capacities. Of course, we will always remain your contact partner for maintenance and subsequent adjustments.
