Why Process Deviations on High-Mix Automotive Assembly Lines Are Detected Too Late

Ubisense2026-03-09T12:21:41+00:00

Why process deviations on high-mix automotive assembly lines are detected too late High-mix automotive assembly lines are designed for flexibility, not predictability. Variant-heavy builds, frequent changeovers, manual interventions, and rework loops are normal. Yet most quality and production systems are still structured around an assumption of repeatability. This mismatch is why process deviations are so often discovered after the fact — during end-of-line checks, quality audits, or customer issues — rather than when they

How RTLS Is Driving Transformation in Aerospace and Automotive Manufacturing

Ubisense2025-03-25T09:06:22+00:00

How RTLS Is Driving Transformation in Aerospace and Automotive Manufacturing In an era defined by complexity, customization, and pressure for efficiency, aerospace and automotive manufacturers are facing unprecedented challenges. From managing high-value assets and tooling to orchestrating increasingly flexible production lines, traditional tracking and coordination methods are no longer fit for purpose. That’s why manufacturers across both industries are turning to Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS) — and to Ubisense — to gain a deeper

The Future of Transit: Smart Hubs, Seamless Journeys, and the Role of Real-Time Data Public transportation is evolving rapidly, driven by the increasing need for efficiency, sustainability, and passenger experience enhancements. While autonomous vehicles and high-speed rail projects often grab the headlines, the biggest transformation is happening within transit hubs—bus and coach terminals, rail stations, and multimodal interchanges. These hubs are becoming smarter, leveraging real-time data, AI-driven analytics, and cutting-edge positioning technologies to improve

How to automate human tasks without creating robots

Steven Manifold2024-03-26T16:26:21+00:00

As manufacturing facilities re-start around the world, it’s clear several efficient operating practices that are almost universally adopted will be somewhat reversed, certainly in the short-term, possibly longer. Take ‘just-in-time’ or lean manufacturing for example; made famous by Toyota and popular since the 70’s, manufacturers will need to rethink their supply chains to reduce exposure to potentially disruptive events. As an opinion piece in the FT succinctly put it this weekend; more ‘just-in-case’ than

Don’t Judge a Tracking Technology by its Cover

Steven Manifold2024-03-26T16:26:22+00:00

Don’t judge a book by its cover we are told, but I’ll admit that I’ve bought more than one volume based on its cover art. Those books haven’t always provided a life-changing literary experience, but what the heck? It was only a $10 gamble. An investment in location intelligence to underpin a process digitization strategy is somewhat more than a $10 proposition and selecting the right tracking technology deserves more thought than a perusal

It’s about time automotive manufacturers replace a 70-year-old technology

Steven Manifold2024-03-26T16:26:23+00:00

The barcode was first imagined in 1948 by Joseph Woodland, inspired by the dots and dashes of Morse code. Woodland was responding to a challenge set by a local retailer in Philadelphia, looking to find ways to speed up the process of checking-out in stores. By the 1960’s, an engineer, David Collins revived this idea and, combined with the availability of lasers, was putting thick and thin striped lines on railway cars so they

Gone in 60 seconds – thinking beyond the fixed workstation

Steven Manifold2024-03-26T16:26:23+00:00

Ever since Ransom Olds introduced the automotive assembly line in 1901, and Henry Ford the moving conveyor in 1913 we’ve pretty much been building cars the same way: cramming processes into fixed workstations. The fixed workstation is a very simple concept. Step 1: define the takt-time based on planned production volume, typically around 60 seconds for high volume. Step 2: set the line speed and workstation size to create 60s workstations. Step 3: divide
