Part of the Bosch Group since 1951, Bosch India Ltd. is India’s largest manufacturer of automotive components, such as fuel injection systems, electronics and aftermarket products. The company also makes specialty and packaging machines, electric power tools and security systems.
Until recently, the company relied on manual inspection to ensure the quality of many auto parts. For example, inspection of manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensors involved workers using a visual measurement system to verify capacitor placement, and determine the quality of welded sensor leads based on the surface’s negative temperature coefficient.
