Completeness Check on Stove Top Assemblies
Checking the presence of individual components during the assembly of hobs
Application and Challenge
I the manual assembly of stovetops, achieving precision and completeness in the assembly process poses significant challenges. Often, individual components may be missing, or the assembly may not meet the stringent specifications required for optimal performance. These issues can lead to defective products, increased waste, and higher costs due to rework and returns. Ensuring that each stovetop meets quality standards before leaving the assembly line is crucial to maintaining customer satisfaction and operational efficiency.
Solution
To address these challenges, a stovetop manufacturer implemented an end-of-line inspection system from senswork. This advanced system is designed to check the correct assembly and alignment of individual components in real-time, providing a comprehensive solution to common assembly issues.
