Automation is a key factor to be competitive in the automotive industry

Mar 20, 2023 | News

The auto industry is constantly shifting and evolving, especially in recent years with alternative mobility options. One of the most significant changes in the production process has been the increase in automatization. As technology advances, the auto industry is taking advantage of the many benefits that come with automatization, including improved safety, increased efficiency, and increased production speed. As a supplier of fluid carrying hoses for car manufacturers, we understand the importance of keeping up with the changing industry and the need to remain competitive by staying up to date on the latest trends.

The automatization in the auto industry has been driven by the need to reduce costs, increase production speed and accuracy, and optimise processes. Automatization allows for more efficient and precise operations, with less resources needed, fewer mistakes, and faster production time. Automatization also reduces the amount of energy to produce parts and components, resulting in a more sustainable production process.

At our company, we have embraced the automatization and are taking advantage of it. We are using robotic arms to assemble our plastic and metalo-plastic hoses, allowing us to increase production speed while reducing labour costs. This also allows us to meet tight deadlines and produce higher quality products. We are also using vision systems to inspect our products, ensuring that they are of the highest quality and meet the needs of our customers.

Automation cannot replace the skills and expertise of human work, so we try to use the benefits from both automation and human expertise. Our staff is trained to operate the latest machinery, and they are also responsible for overseeing the quality of the products produced.

The automation and R&D teams in each production facility are working together, and in the majority of plants have, or will soon have, the same level of automation. We have identified automation as a crucial aspect for ILPEA to remain competitive with other companies.

As a supplier of plastic hoses for the main OEMs in Europe and America, we understand the importance of staying up to date with the latest trends and technologies. Automatization is changing the auto industry, and we are proud to be part of this transformation. By using both automation and human labour, we are able to produce higher quality products more efficiently, allowing us to remain competitive in the marketplace.
