As the electric vehicle industry rapidly expands, ensuring product quality and safety becomes paramount. Rigorous inspection is essential to identify defects, optimize manufacturing processes, and guarantee consumer safety. Advanced inspection technologies play a crucial role in maintaining high standards and building consumer trust in the electric vehicle market.
Our client, a rapidly expanding electric vehicle manufacturer faced a critical production bottleneck. Many of the cars built didn’t look right because parts didn’t fit together properly. Thus, the fitment issues on the assembly line resulted in a high vehicle rejection rate, with only 15% passing initial quality checks. The root cause was identified as problems with the chassis/frame, specifically in the assembly and welding of sourced components
To address persistent fitment problems on an electric vehicle assembly line, a comprehensive solution was proposed centered on advanced inspection technology. The strategy involved dramatically increasing the number of chassis inspected per production run to better understand welding quality and streamlining the inspection process for smaller components.
In a strategic move, we positioned for an initial demonstration at the client’s R&D facility. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, we went above and beyond conventional business hours, presenting the solution to company’s CEO, , at an unconventional time—Midnight, 3 am, directly in the factory.
Despite the physical distance between the machine and the engineer, we seamlessly conducted a successful demonstration, showcasing the capabilities and benefits of the comprehensive inspection solution.
Despite tight timelines and challenging conditions, the technology was swiftly implemented, significantly improving product quality and customer satisfaction.
