Automotive Manufacturing Automation Systems & Processes

Robot automation is a critical technology in the automotive industry, as it enables faster, safer and more efficient production of vehicles.  The automobile industry has historically been one of the earliest and most enthusiastic developers of industrial robotic technology, and this trend continues today. In some form, robots are utilized in practically every aspect of automotive manufacturing and it still remains one of the world’s most automated supply chains.

Robots can perform tasks such as welding, painting, assembling, inspecting and testing that would be difficult, dangerous or tedious for manual labor. Robot automation also reduces the risk of errors, defects and waste, improving the final product’s quality and consistency. Robot automation is used in various stages of the automotive manufacturing process, from design and prototyping to assembly and inspection.

Midwest Engineered Systems has experience developing and implementing factory automation systems that can manipulate large components, perform welding operations, defect detection and more.

Automotive Automation expertise

Flame Treatment Operation

A parts provider for a leading automaker contracted Midwest Engineered Systems to reintegrate an existing robot work cell, that performed riveting operations, into a robotic flame-treating system for a sports car base frame and glove box.

Component Assembly, Testing & Inspection

MWES designed, developed and integrated an automated assembly system for an injection molding and prototyping company. The final system was a completely automated system that moved un-assembled plastic parts through three assembly operations.

Component Welding

A chief supplier to one of the largest automakers contracted MWES to integrate an automated spot welding cell as part of a larger assembly line. This cell produced parts at a rate of one every 10 seconds.
