Fendt tractors are latest manufacturer to adopt Ubisense
location solution
Cambridge and Marktoberdorf - Ubisense Group Plc ("Ubisense" or
the "Company") (LSE:UBI), a market leader in location solutions
technology, is pleased to announce that Fendt tractors, a brand of
the AGCO Group with over 20 manufacturing plants worldwide, have
adopted a production installation of the Ubisense location based
manufacturing suite to streamline its facility at Marktoberdorf in
Germany.
Fendt manufacture a wide range of agricultural tractors at the
plant and have installed the Ubisense solution to provide real-time
visibility of their production process, with particular emphasis on
the throughput of complex gears and assemblies.
After a successful pilot project which started in late 2011,
Fendt decided to rollout the project in the entire gear production
hall.
The Ubisense location based manufacturing suite provides
automatic recognition of the gears being assembled as well as
automatically detecting the entry into a work station as input for
the new Manufacturing Execution System (MES.) The Ubisense solution
eliminates the need to scan barcodes on gear work-orders, in itself
not a value adding activity, and therefore helps to automate the
manufacturing process as well as to improve the quality and
productivity.
Each of the gears is equipped with a Ubisense tag, so that it
can be located precisely through the manufacturing process by
sensors mounted at fixed locations along the production line. The
tags, which have a unique identifier, are matched to the respective
gear order number. The Ubisense manufacturing suite provides
visibility of the manufacturing process by recording, handling and
analyzing the location data.
In selecting the Ubisense Solution, Stefan Hoffmann of Fendt,
said: "We were looking to adopt the best in breed solution for our
complex manufacturing process and found that Ubisense offered the
precision, reliability and a thorough understanding of our
business."
Richard Green, Ubisense Chief Executive, said: "This win with
Fendt is a significant vote of confidence in our location based
manufacturing suite. Given AGCO Group's extensive array of
agricultural equipment brands, this represents an exciting
opportunity for Ubisense."
