Digital I/O capability

Enables easy connectivity of external I/O devices, eliminating the need for a PLC.

Basic pick-to-light/pick-by-light

Visually guides operators in picking parts from bins based on digital I/O capability.

User access control

Prevents unauthorized system access, enforcing user roles and privileges.

Part verification and documentation

Identifies parts by means of serial numbers or product IDs to ensure the correct parts are being used to build a product.

Product rework

Detection of errors in production process and automatic guidance through the repair process at dedicated rework stations.

Consolidated data collection

Traceability of all assembly actions (torque, parts, digital I/O, manual confirmation) and missed tasks from all stations and all products. Easy and convenient access to collected data via web UI.

Operator ID and certification check

Access control and certification check of the operator before allowing to perform specific assembly tasks. Ensuring accountability is the first step towards mistake proofing by driving engagement and ultimately reducing downtime.
