Ensuring end-to-end traceability
$43bn turnover, 22 000 employees, 10+ locations, in 6+ countries
A data management system, which was nearly 80% more efficient and easier to use, helped the customer ensure traceability.
The Challenge
Set up a turnkey engine assembly line with in-process validation systems and strong process security for full line traceability.
How Did We Do This?
- By implementing a dedicated rework procedure in ODIN Workstation along with Rework Out and Rework In.
- By integrating Fanuc robot and vision system with our ODIN system.
Benefits
- Festo integration for air consumption monitoring with scope of leak detection and consumption optimisation.
- Management of 120+ engine variants on the line, based on dynamic input from SAP.
- Local language work instructions to train and guide contracted operators for assembly.
Results
- An assembly line with end-to-end traceability.
- Ease of new variant addition without touching the PLC.
- The systematic tracking of rework to ensure all parts follow the set processes and protocols, and avoid deviations.
