MELBOURNE, Ark. — Oobotic has opened its first U.S. manufacturing facility in Melbourne, Ark., where the company plans to produce consumer products using automated manufacturing systems and AI-enabled production technology.

In this episode of ASSEMBLY News Now, we look at how Tesla stacks up against Toyota and BYD, and what the numbers suggest about manufacturing efficiency, workforce scale and the changing competitive landscape in the global auto industry.

Once thought impossible, robots can now tighten bolts using 3D vision systems and force sensors, even under the demanding conditions of a car factory.

MILWAUKEE — As manufacturers expand their use of robotics, cobots and connected production systems, motion control components are becoming increasingly important to flexible automation design.

BYD might produce and sell more EVs than Tesla, but Tesla operates with significantly fewer employees and generates higher revenue per worker model.

Our new flexible transportation positioning device (FTPD) enables rapid, model-specific reconfiguration within the BIW manufacturing process.

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.
