Initial situation
MAHLE commissioned Selmo to modernize an End-of-Line-Tester for the quality control of a production line. The goal was to maintain the existing machine and replace the complex and vulnerable control system. The process flow was optimized by commissioning the new control system and the cycle time improved.
Implementation
The end-of-line-tester was an outdated system that urgently needed to be modernized. The system was programmed on a proprietary software environment with which only specific experts were familiar. The biggest challenge here was a required change in the software and communication of the sensor technology. This conversion could not be carried out because the people responsible were no longer available. Contracts with third parties failed.
Selmo rethought the process and automated the inspection station. The software environment was migrated to an open and standardized platform. The sensor technology was equipped with modern interfaces and integrated into the Selmo system.
Due to the successful commissioning of the end-of-line-tester, another testing station was modernized with Selmo.
