In the factory of the future we are consistently implementing innovative technologies and processes across the board according to the key terms 'digital, flexible, green'. We create a modern workspace with more attention to individual requirements of our employees. In "Factory 56" in Sindelfingen, Germany, we are significantly increasing flexibility and efficiency in comparison to our current vehicle assembly halls - without sacrificing our quality.
New, flexible infrastructure with powerful WiFi and mobile network
In the "Factory 56", the traditional assembly line is replaced by driverless transport systems in selected production areas - the so-called "TecLines" - for example at the beginning of the trim line. By merely redefining the tracks for the driverless transport systems, it will be possible to change from assembly operation to cycle operation, whereby the vehicle remains in position and is not continuously moved along the line. This makes sense for automated activities, among others, for example when installing the sliding glass roof. In addition, by using the driverless transport systems, individual assembly units can be expanded without interfering in the building's structure.
