Ubisense Location Solution drives UK car manufacturing
productivity
Cambridge, UK - Ubisense Group Plc ("Ubisense" or the "Company")
(LSE:UBI) announces that its real-time location system developed in
collaboration with IBS AG ("IBS") has been deployed at a major UK
car plant.
Under the global license agreement between the companies MINI
Plant Oxford is the latest deployment in the BMW Group following
installations in Europe, US and China. The implementation covers
the whole of the final assembly line at the MINI Plant, and
controls over 100 DC torque tools translating into over 100,000
tool/car matches in any one day. Automating the torque settings of
the tool for each model variant is a key productivity driver for
the system to deliver an impressively short return on
investment.
The Location Information Solution (LIS), specially developed for
BMW Group, combines real-time location from Ubisense with advanced
quality management and traceability software from IBS, bringing the
production process a step closer to Six Sigma and the vision of
complete traceability. The system tracks individual vehicles
through on-line and off-line final assembly. It determines the
identity and location of each car in the assembly facility and,
based on the proximity of the vehicles to both fixed and mobile
equipment such as tools and scanners, programs and controls the
devices. Delivering unprecedented levels of visibility, accuracy
and reliability for an RTLS-based solution, the system improves
quality, and enables line operatives to work more efficiently,
achieving time-saving, process safeguarding, zero defects and cost
reduction.
"The Location Information System (LIS) - developed and
standardised by IBS, BMW Group and Ubisense - is unique worldwide.
The solution presents us with a vital unique selling point. We are
absolutely delighted that BMW AG has completed implementation at
Plant Oxford," says Dr. Klaus-Juergen Schroeder, Chief Executive
Officer of IBS AG.
Richard Green, CEO of Ubisense, said, "We are delighted to be
working with BMW Group and IBS extending the frontiers of
visibility and control to automotive manufacturing."
