Automation Solutions for Automotive
Powering the Modern Assembly Line
Automation solutions designed for automotive manufacturing, supporting just-in-time supply, just-in-sequence assembly, and reliable material availability across production, assembly, and MRO operations.
Optimized Flow from Inbound to Outbound
Automotive manufacturing demands absolute material accuracy, synchronized production flow, and zero line disruption. UB delivers integrated automation solutions anchored by ASRS to ensure parts are always available, sequenced, and production-ready.
Smart Line-Side Feeding
Automate the replenishment of workstations with millimeter precision, eliminating manual handling and assembly bottlenecks.
Just-in-Sequence Flow
Synchronize ASRS output to the production schedule, delivering sub-assemblies in the exact order required for the vehicle build.
Work-in-Progress (WIP) Buffering
Manage the flow between Body-in-White, Paint, and General Assembly with high-density automated zones that balance line speeds.
Total Ecosystem Integration
Connect ERP and MES systems directly to hardware for real-time visibility across the entire automotive plant floor.
Maximum throughput where floor space is most critical
-
Vertical Cube Optimization: Reclaim significant floor space by moving inventory into high-density vertical ASRS stacks, maximizing overhead clearance.
-
Rapid Cycle Velocity: High-frequency retrieval rates engineered to match the aggressive takt-times of modern vehicle production lines.
-
Battery Module Handling: Specialized safety protocols and precision grippers designed specifically for sensitive EV battery assembly and storage.
-
Continuous Operational Uptime: Robust engineering ensures the assembly line never starves for parts, maintaining throughput regardless of shift patterns.
Error-resistant automation for high-yield manufacturing
-
Gentle Component Handling: Sophisticated acceleration and deceleration curves protect Class-A surfaces and fragile electronic sensors from impact or vibration.
-
Modular Scalability: Expand ASRS capacity effortlessly as production volumes scale from pilot runs to full-scale vehicle manufacturing.
-
Predictive Maintenance Intelligence: Integrated IoT sensors detect wear before failure occurs, allowing maintenance scheduling during planned plant downtime.
-
Sustainable Power Recovery: Regenerative energy units capture braking power from cranes, feeding electricity back into the facility’s power grid
