VDL Group
To meet the rigorous requirements of the automotive industry, we developed a comprehensive system for axle production and assembly using our proprietary MES system, Stepcheck. This system interfaces with welding robots, PLCs, printers, and torque-tightening systems.
Built-in operator guidance ensures all production steps are validated and executed in the correct sequence. Recording all relevant data, including welding parameters, user input, and tightening moments, thoroughly documents the entire process. This data can be accessed and presented during audits and is valuable for analysis, presentations, and decision-making. Given VDL’s diverse customer base, Stepcheck’s versatility and flexibility make it a logical choice.
