Case study: MAGIC EYE helps prevent unplanned downtime of ŠKODA AUTO’s busiest assembly line
When cars are assembled in ŠKODA AUTO production plants, car bodies are placed on an overhead conveyor, which moves them along the assembly line for individual production steps. However, the conveyor malfunctions from time to time for various reasons - with supporting aluminum profiles and conductive electrical tracks, or rails, being particularly prone to defects. Employees on the assembly lines must perform frequent visual inspections in hard-to-reach places and effectively plan maintenance of machines and equipment to prevent costly repairs and unnecessary downtime.
