Daimler adopts Ubisense Assembly Control System on Mercedes S
Class assembly line
Cambridge, UK - Ubisense Group plc ("Ubisense" or the "Company")
(LSE:UBI), a market leader in location based smart technology, is
pleased to announce that its Smart Factory System solution for
automotive assembly lines has achieved acceptance in Daimler's
project to equip Mercedes' S Class premium vehicles in
Sindelfingen, Germany.
Following an extensive proof of concept at Daimler's plant in
Rastatt, Ubisense was awarded the contract to equip the assembly
line in the Sindelfingen based plant. The project was divided into
two phases: the pilot phase covered two line segments and the
associated DC tools provided the means to integrate and test the
solution; the system will now be installed at all the remaining
stations and all the DC tools will be integrated.
The Ubisense Smart Factory System, based on its six sigma Real
Time Location Solution, automates the recognition of tool / vehicle
interactions on the production line, eliminating the need to scan
vehicle ID numbers and ensuring that the correct tool program is
being used for the particular vehicle at the station. In addition,
the exact location of each vehicle is tracked continuously and
matched to the vehicle ID which is then supplied to external worker
assistance systems as the vehicle arrives at each station. This is
particularly useful on line segments where traditional vehicle
sensing technologies are not available.
The result of using the Ubisense Smart Factory System will be a
significant reduction in unproductive assembly time, as well as
eliminating many errors that can occur in manual operations such as
scanning.
The Smart Factory System at Daimler is integrated with the car
manufacturer's PLUS manufacturing execution system and with the DC
tools via the Atlas Copco Open Protocol. The final solution will
also control other devices and the tools of several other vendors.
Ubisense is implementing the solution at Daimler together with
Atlas Copco following the strategic partnership which the two
companies launched in 2009.
Richard Green, Ubisense CEO, added: "We are delighted to be
working with Daimler and Atlas Copco, both renowned for the high
quality of their products and their manufacturing excellence. We
look forward to supporting Daimler in achieving their ambitious
manufacturing goals over the years to come."
