Optimization of quality control for produced mechanic components
Challenge
Task
-
optimization of quality control for produced mechanic components
Objective
- manage increasing complexity of components in quality assurance, no defective parts to customer
- maintain competitive position of German production locations
Framework
- various halls, plants and countries
- many systems with outdated hardware
- hard cycle-time requirements
Solution
- development of solutions based on camera and measurement technology for EOL quality assurance of mechanical parts
