Our shifter assembly facilities recently received a shifter handle assembly with the wrong colour thread (red) contained in consignment with grey threading. We realised that this could cause issues if not caught in production so we integrated colour checking camera technology directly in the work cell. This is tied in with the PLC and can automatically react if the colour of the thread does not match the model of shifter being assembled.
There is no impact on the cycle time and of course, most importantly, we keep our Customer happy.
