Quality Assurance at Multiproduct Assembly Workstations

Challenge: Streamlining Production on Assembly Bins

Minimizing errors in the assembly process is crucial for companies to improve productivity and eliminate waste. In a recent application, the manager of an automotive company wanted a way to streamline productivity in their assembly cells. Operators were frequently grabbing from the wrong bin location because there was no picking system. Due to low visibility, it was difficult for operators to tell where the correct parts were, hurting productivity and increasing production costs. The manager wanted to find a way to improve the training and picking processes as well as various product rework costs.
