By incorporating the use of a Pick to light system and assembly fixtures designed by Sorion across four workstations, we have been able to streamline our build and test process to achieve an output of 1 x assembly every 15 minutes. The system as a whole has been crucial to achieve the weekly demands from our customer and without it our output would be dramatically reduced.

Due to the safety critical nature of the assembly it was important to maintain a high level of quality in the part. The Pick to Light system has been crucial to eliminating field failures attributed to build/process errors. Traceability is also key and the use of a barcode scanning system within the Sorion workstations  has allowed us to track child part information and generate a birth certificate for every assembly including part, build and operator data. The data stored in Orion is key to us being able to give our customer confidence in the quality of parts as we can share this data quickly and easily with them.

The Sorion team installed a complete production control solution at our manufacturing facility. The system has greatly improved the quality of the assembly processes and it was instrumental in helping us to achieve IATF (International Automotive Task Force) 16949 certification.
