Assembly in Action: Flexibility Helps Automotive Supplier
These solenoids are in high demand. They are virtually maintenance-free, can react within milliseconds, can be operated in hot oil at 130 C and in arctic conditions, and hold their characteristic curve for their entire service life. "Nevertheless, the crucial argument is cost," says Neidert. "For the car manufacturer, product excellence is not a bonus. Instead, it is viewed merely as the admission prerequisite for further negotiations focusing on rock-bottom costs."

"We needed an assembly line enabling us to fulfill the highand at the same time very diversifieddemands of our customers," says Walter Ebner, master craftsman.
