Real-Time Tracking for Engine Assembly

Enhance your manufacturing process with advanced technology, ensuring improved operator safety, enhanced ergonomics, reduced recall risk, and increased efficiency.

Ensuring Performance and Reliability

Engines are the heart of any vehicle, and their assembly requires precision and attention to detail. Challenges such as complex assembly processes and stringent quality control arise during engine manufacturing. Ensuring proper installation and maintaining high standards of performance and reliability are critical for vehicle engines.

Typical customer challenges

  • Complexity of Assembly and Quality Control

    Engine assembly involves numerous components that must be assembled in a precise order. The complexity of this process can lead to errors and rejects. Manual inspections are necessary to identify assembly errors and quality issues, but this process is time-consuming and resource-intensive, impacting overall production efficiency.

  • Product Variants and Updates

    Engine's are quiet complex products in their structure and available in many different variations. Furthermore they underlay updates which may change the shape or the process slightly. These difference's or updates are not known by every operator, slight changes of fasteners or the process can lead into quality defects caused by process faliures.

  • Tool Changeovers and Calibration

    Engine assembly lines use a variety of tools and machines for different steps in the process. Efficient tool changeovers and precise calibration between steps are essential to maintain quality. Delays in tool changes can disrupt the production flow, affecting efficiency and profitability.

  • Precision in Tightening and Small Distances

    During engine assembly, screws and bolts must be tightened to specific torques and distances. Human error or improper guidance can result in incorrect tightening, compromising the engine's structural integrity and performance.

How can nexonar solve these challenges?

Upgrade your manufacturing process with advanced technology that prioritizes safety, ergonomics, and efficiency. By reducing recall risks and optimizing workflows, you can ensure a more reliable and productive operation.

  • Precision Assembly and Quality Control

    nexonar's Real-Time Location System ensures precise guidance during the assembly process, reducing the risk of errors and rejects. Automated monitoring helps maintain high quality standards, reducing the need for extensive manual inspections and improving overall efficiency.

  • Product variants and updates

    Forcing the right positions in any product variant or process will set down the risks of not beeing aware of any change in tightening process's to zero. The Operator will be guided through the process and a well set up quality tool will avoid not allocated NOK operations any time.

  • Efficient Tool Changeovers and Calibration

    nexonar's system supports the tool management to ensures precise calibration, minimizing delays and disruptions. Tools can be easily swapped and used without any impact on the process so that the full quality assistance is available also for spare tools, used only while the main tool is in maintenance. This improves the production flow and enhances the efficiency and profitability of the engine assembly line.

  • Accurate Tightening and Distance Control

    nexonar's Real-Time Location System provides accurate guidance for tightening screws and bolts to specific torques and distances. This reduces human error and ensures the structural integrity and performance of the assembled engine.
