To compete with competitors, assembly must be faster, more accurate, and more flexible to keep up with continuously fluctuating manufacturing requirements. That’s why Atlas Copco serves as your one-stop shop for all your smart assembly solution needs.
Whether you are new to smart integrated assembly or well on your way to having a fully integrated smart factory, the experts at Atlas Copco are ready to guide you through this transition. Read on to discover how we are ready to make smart integrated assembly simple and more efficient.
Begin your journey
We will begin at the very first step. Creating a Smart Factory starts at the joint level. With the right tools, you can significantly improve your production. Of course, not all applications will warrant using electric assembly tools. However, by incorporating them into your assembly as needed, you can begin to catch mistakes as they occur and error-proof your assembly. If you find yourself starting at step one, you can learn more about the basics here.
Take the next step
Now that you’ve equipped your operators with smarter assembly tools, the next step is to integrate error-proofing solutions into your assembly. At Atlas Copco, we offer intuitive software and adaptable workstation solutions that use advanced technology to boost quality, productivity, and profitability.
If you want to achieve zero defects on the line, positioning systems with operator guidance software are the solutions you need. They are designed to guide operators through the assembly process, flag errors made on the line, and provide transparency throughout the entire build process. Are you ready to take the next step in creating a smart integrated assembly process? Read our article to discover the impact these solutions can make on your assembly.
Automated assembly
Automation plays a key role in streamlining your production. It is the perfect solution to reduce unplanned downtime due to recalls and rework for repetitive daily processes. By taking the human factor out of the equation, you will benefit from improved quality and productivity.
Furthermore, you can allocate your operators to more complex portions of your assembly, enabling a more efficient Smart Factory. Are you new to automation? You can learn more about new and exciting automated innovations and their impact on production here.
Gain control of your tools and lines
Bringing you one step closer to the Smart Factory is software! Now, we talked a little bit about operator guidance software, but there are other impressive software solutions available that offer greater insight into your production.
In this way, our software acts as a database of information, providing you with information to track and analyze issues and create plans to resolve them. For example, if there is a common issue, you will have the information available to recognize it and the software to configure your stations and adjust programs. To learn more about the advantages of software in your assembly, read our article, which dives into the basics of our innovative software.
The flexible Smart Factory
When you implement the previous steps, your facility will function as one flexible ecosystem, setting you up to seamlessly adjust to variants and changes in production quickly and without interruption. Your production will be able to keep up with the fast-paced requirements of today's manufacturing climate.
Whether you’re encountering production issues, need to change tightening programs, or need to produce personalized products, your Smart Factory will be able to adapt and thrive. If you want the same for your facility, read the full article to discover more about the benefits of the Smart Factory.
