Automotive engineering

Virtual vehicle production - safe, efficient, scalable

WinMOD enables the virtualisation of extensive production processes in automotive engineering. This allows you to carry out test runs, recognise errors at an early stage and significantly reduce implementation and operating costs.

Pressing plants

Production area in which structural body parts and outer skin parts are produced from sheet metal coils or cut blanks by cold or hot forming - from the raw blank to the ready-to-install formed part.

Body shell construction

Joins stamped/formed sheet metal parts, extruded and cast components into a dimensionally stable body structure - with defined geometry, rigidity, crash and NVH performance as a basis for painting and final assembly.

Painting lines

Highly automated system chains for surface pre-treatment, coating and curing of car bodies and add-on parts - designed for high throughput, reproducible appearance and corrosion protection.

Assembly of unit carrier

Pre-assembly of front/rear axle modules as carriers for chassis, steering and drive units such as combustion engine, powertrain or e-axle. Transport up to the sequenced transfer to the „marriage“ with the body.

Battery production

Highly automated process chain for the production of traction batteries - from electrode production, cell assembly and forming to module/pack assembly

Floor conveyor technology

This technology area comprises conveyor systems that transport and sort pallets and mesh boxes containing automotive components. The conveying elements are large roller and chain conveyors in combination with lifting, turning and sliding tables.

Automatic component and body bearings

Fully automated high-bay warehouses that are operated by light or heavy-duty storage and retrieval machines and controlled via distributed automation systems. Warehouse management systems generate the orders for the storage and retrieval of body shells or complete car bodies.

SKID conveyor technology

Floor-bound conveyor technology in which car bodies or heavy modules are transported on standardised SKIDs (steel frames with vehicle-specific support points) through assembly, painting and buffer areas.

Electric monorail system

Overhead conveyor systems with electrically driven, individually controllable trolleys on monorail rails for low or high loads (up to the tonne range).

Thrust SKID lines

Ground-based conveyor technology in which car bodies or heavy assemblies are moved along rails on platforms. They are typically driven by friction wheels, push chain conveyors or push beams that continuously push the SKIDs forwards.
