inClass assembly lines are engineered for versatility and can accommodate a wide array of LCD shapes and sizes that are suitable for automotive applications. Whether it’s a display for an instrument cluster, infotainment, or any others such as mirror and AC control, they can be assembled on inClass lines.
Additionally, the system is not limited to just LCDs; it can be adapted to work with OLED displays. It is crucial that inClass lines are adaptable to different products on the same line. Changeover to a completely different product can be done by swapping grippers and carriers, or the entire line can be designed to be able changeover by the push of a button.
Quality control in inClass assembly lines is completely adaptable to fulfill both specific customer requests and our own high standards of quality. Each cell has individual quality control mechanisms to make good on every opportunity to catch discrepancies early and reduce scrap, ensuring inClass assembly lines a 99% first pass yield or higher.
DMC or RFID tracking can be incorporated for comprehensive traceability all along the line, as well as seamlessly integrated with MES and ERP for information-based support on a higher level. Additionally, individual inSpect visual quality control cells can be fully integrated for specialized quality checks at the start of line, end of line, or anywhere in between where they are needed.
Yes, the InClass assembly system is modular by design. This is a significant advantage as it allows for easy adaptability and upgrades, making it a future-proof investment. Whether there’s a need to integrate new technologies, adapt to different display sizes and types, or lower cycle time by multiplying bottleneck operations, the modular design ensures that the line can be easily modified to meet these new requirements.
This flexibility is particularly important in the fast-paced automotive industry to match with constant technological advancements, market segmentation and just-in-time manufacturing demands.
Yes, we offer support contracts that can be tailored to meet specific customer requirements – whether it’s regular maintenance, software updates, or emergency support, we offer comprehensive after-sales service. Maintenance intervals are anticipated based on manufacturers’ recommendation for standard components and wear analyses for custom components.
This ensures that the assembly line continues to operate at peak efficiency, reducing downtime and maximizing productivity. We also pride ourselves in continuous knowledge support and the ability to offer extensive trainings before and during production ramp-up; this means savings on labour costs down the line since the operators are empowered to operate the line independently and don’t spend time on avoidable inefficiencies.
Yes, any new line or new functionality can be commissioned fully remotely. We offer 3D remote commissioning with a complete digital twin to fully align expectations and mitigate any shortcomings before the line ever reaches the factory floor. Taking advantage of all remote work tools at our disposal, we work with the customer’s team as if we were physically working together. Virtual commissioning allows for quick changes and iterations to be made in parallel with other project activities, optimising time and resource use and ultimately delivering a more refined product.
inClass assembly systems comply with a set of European and international standards to ensure the highest levels of safety, functionality, and reliability. Specifically, they comply with the following:
SIST EN ISO 12100:2011: An international standard for the safety of machinery, providing guidelines for risk assessment and risk reduction to help designers and manufacturers achieve safety in the design phase.
SIST EN 60204-1:2018: A European standard that deals with the safety of electrical equipment of machines, setting general requirements for the electrical equipment used in machines to ensure both the safety of the operator and the correct functioning of the machine.
2006/42/EC: The Machinery Directive of the European Union, which sets legal requirements for harmonisation of essential health and safety requirements for machinery within the European single market.
2014/35/EU: The Low Voltage Directive, which covers the safety of electrical equipment under 1000 V AC and 1500 V DC for both commercial and household electrical equipment.
2014/30/EU: The Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive, which ensures that electrical and electronic equipment doesn’t generate, or is not affected by, electromagnetic disturbance.
