Commenting on its research and
whitepaper, Paul Clark, Business Line
Manager for Atlas Copco Tools & Industrial
Assembly Solutions, said: “Maintaining
quality is an essential aspect of the
assembly process, as both the direct and
indirect cost for product quality issues can
be immense. The demand for error proofing
is high. When it comes to brand reputation,
all the big manufacturers want to get it right
first time, so error-proofing is now a core
focus for manufacturers, regardless of their
scale or the complexity of products. Our
new whitepaper gives them an informative
guide to the value of error-proofing that fits
their current and future assembly needs.”
ADDING VALUE WITH SMART
CONNECTED ASSEMBLY
Whilst a clear leader in supporting
automotive manufacturing, Atlas Copco’s
Smart Connected Assembly approach is
being adopted by an increasingly diverse
number of industries, from white goods and
aerospace, to wind energy and agricultural
applications.
Customers are seeing increasing complexity
in their product mix and demands for
higher quality, so the Smart Connected
Assembly concept was designed to
provide a clear return on investment by
blending advanced tooling with data driven
services and total customer back-up. This
partnership approach towards zero defect
assembly with full traceability enables
companies to be more agile in dealing with
international competition, globalization and
new technologies.
From a product perspective, fully data
integrated Low Reaction Tools are a key part
of the company’s proposition to maximise
assembly line productivity and efficiency,
whilst reducing human error and ensuring
operator safety.
By bringing together its Tools and Industrial
Assembly Solutions divisions, Atlas Copco
is now best placed to continue its journey
as the manufacturing industry’s preferred
joining partner.
