BIRMINGHAM, Mich. — Automotive manufacturers are expanding AI and automation deeper into assembly, validation, inspection and production coordination as mixed powertrains and rising electronics content make vehicle production more complex, according to a new report from Rockwell Automation and the Center for Automotive Research.

We developed a “quick assessment algorithm” intended to help engineers identify assembly tasks that have the potential to be performed in collaboration with a robot.

Discover the future of quality manufacturing with the power of automation.

Volvo Cars has begun production of its new, fully electric EX60 SUV at its assembly plant in Torslanda, Sweden. The plant has been heavily upgraded in recent years in preparation for production of the EX60 and other EVs.

Shifting from a traditional process to a streamlined assembly line to a 30 percent increase in throughput and a 53 percent reduction in footprint.

Miss a little, miss a lot. In a busy work week, it can be difficult to keep up with what’s happening in manufacturing. Here’s a look at the top five assembly articles from the week of May 17-23

Timing studies and simulation can help engineers optimize cycle time in automated assembly systems.

New assembly conveyors are designed for transporting fragile medical devices and heavy loads.

When introducing new vehicle models, each launch can demand extensive reconfiguration of existing production lines. Timing is critical and every delay carries a significant cost. Digital twin technology can help engineers tackle that issue.

The right nozzle helps precision spray systems reduce defects, save fluid, ensure long‑term stability, and integrates smoothly into automated or robotic environments.
