Located in the headquarters of Audi in Ingolstadt (Germany) is a plant of the world's largest airline. The Germans ordered in the showroom, but prefer to receive it. Because they have the opportunity to see the production line of one of the leading luxury car company in the world. Approximately 450,000 visitors come here every year.
Ingolstadt plant is responsible for the production of the Audi A4, A3, A5 and Q5. The output of around 650,000 a year. In addition, it also has factory paint for the TT Coupe, TT Roadster and A3 soft roof.
Visitors can not bring your phone, camera or camcorder. Phone can be interpreted as affecting a chip on each vehicle to determine their characteristics.
The plant is very clean and is divided into three stages. The top floor for the transfer of equipment between departments. Audi uses a stamping machine from the tire area. The robot arm work hard, continuous and accurate. A question standing in the beginning of the first visit was, "How can they do that?".
On each vehicle mounted a transceiver chip wireless signal. Whenever a region (the welding, stamping glue ...) it will let the robot know what kind of car to choose materials and how to implement accordingly. Engineers calculate that robots never get the wrong parts.
The rotation stage with each other through the system on the top floor, so floor area maximum savings. Tourists like to go to the zoo than a car factory. The smell here is only for hydraulic robot arm. Employees move by bike and very economical words. When incidents occur, signal lights will turn on.
The smallest of carefully calculated. A spray arm spray glue after the brushed brushed finish were good as older workers to take advantage of a little excess glue. If each car consumed only 1 ml each in its own glue this stage has 650 gallons loss of specialized glue.
There are many areas of public assembly is the interior. Here, the robot provided screws, mirrors, glass, dashboard panel also calculated so that workers are never wrong. They only know to take this division, inserted in the other vehicle without time-consuming check is correct. The place to screw even assigned the type and quantity available.
These workers work hard and sometimes music "each individual" sounded. That voice notification system assembly process be speeded up or slow down because she was elected as a slower than normal, for example.
Every vehicle upon completion were included in the inspection department before shipping.
