ŠKODA RAPID / Octavia (SK-25X /SK-37X)
Sector Automotive
A unique production line has been developed for the manufacture of three different versions of ŠKODA and SEAT models. This manufacturing process combines automation with human intervention, using geometry tools to assemble the parts that will make up the complete assembly.
In addition, robotic joining applications are used to ensure efficient and precise joining of the different parts. Production flexibility is achieved thanks to an automatic system that allows tooling to be changed according to the model being manufactured at the time.
As for the quality and finish of the products, a special laser welding application has been implemented and is used to weld the visible areas. This ensures precise and high-quality welding in the areas that will be visible on the finished vehicles.
Challenge to solve
The challenge was to solve the efficiency of assembly lines, guaranteeing the quality of the final product and preserving a safe environment for workers in the context of an automated work process.
Proposed solution
The proposed solution consisted of carrying out a detailed study and developing viable and efficient production processes, as well as designing an optimized layout adapted to the space available according to the client’s needs.
Execution
The execution of the project included the design and manufacture of the means of production to produce parts in the pre-production stage, together with the execution of the final quality control of the product in accordance with the quality standards required by our client.
In addition, the installation and commissioning of the project was carried out with a team of experts and multidisciplinary professionals, trained in the customer’s specific standards.
