Efficient delivery of AGV systems to a French automotive manufacturer

Case study

Automotive manufacturer modernizes production

The customer, a leading automotive manufacturer with a global presence, needed to upgrade the production line at one of its facilities in France. The challenge was to deliver a reliable AGV system with 15 units to streamline the transportation of chassis during the manufacturing process.

Outdated equipment

The existing equipment needed replacement to maintain stable production. To ensure an efficient production flow, the customer required a solution that was both reliable and tailored to their specific needs.

A complete AGV delivery

Elektroautomatik developed and delivered a proven AGV system that met the customer’s needs:

Pilot testing of pre-series: The customer was able to test a pre-series AGV before the production of the remaining 14 units commenced.
Turn-key delivery: The AGV system was installed and commissioned during the holiday period to minimize production disruptions.
Remote support and continuous optimization: Elektroautomatik provides ongoing support through remote access and follow-up meetings to ensure optimal performance.

International collaboration and local presence

The project was characterized by regular Teams meetings and a shared digital platform to facilitate smooth collaboration. The customer participated in the Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) at Elektroautomatik, and a pre-installation site visit to the French facility ensured that the installation area was prepared and that the project could proceed as planned.

After commissioning, the collaboration continued with follow-up meetings and remote access to the equipment, enabling quick adjustments when needed.

A reliable and efficient production solution

Improved workflow: The new AGV system ensures stable and ergonomic transport solutions for chassis in production.
Seamless transition: Careful planning and testing ensured installation without unexpected disruptions.
Flexible support: Elektroautomatik’s combination of local presence and global experience guarantees ongoing support for the customer’s facility.
