THE CHALLENGE
A tier-1 supplier won a new body-in-white subassembly and had no cell to build it on. Cycle time, weld sequence and part variance all had to be locked before the OEM ramp date, and the cell had to slot into an existing hall with fixed media and conveyor interfaces.
STARTING CONDITIONProduct data and a target cycle time existed; the line concept, fixturing and controls did not.
CUSTOMER PROVIDED
- Part CAD and weld specification from the OEM release
- Target cycle time and annual volume forecast
- Hall layout with media and conveyor interface points
- Customer PLC and safety standards handbook
GANI OWNED
- Cell concept and robot simulation against the target cycle
- EPLAN electrical design and control panel build in-house
- PLC, HMI and safety programming to customer standards
- Fixture procurement and mechanical integration
- FAT with customer parts at GANI, then SAT and ramp support on site
- As-built documentation and operator training
OUTCOME
What the program delivers.
- FAT passed with customer-supplied parts before shipment
- SAT completed inside the planned installation window
- Cell released for the OEM ramp with signed acceptance protocol
- Spare parts list and drawings handed over from build records
