Machine Vision Solutions for Today’s Automotive Manufacturing Challenges

Automotive operations must constantly evolve to match today’s biggest challenges, which include rising consumer demands, increased custom manufacturing, supply chain volatility, and the rising call for electric vehicles (EVs). Machine vision technology has long served the automotive industry, helping to automate disparate processes, from engine block inspection to tire and wheel identification. New challenges, however, require new solutions

As automotive manufacturing processes advance, so too must the technologies that help companies increase productivity, enhance efficiency, and ultimately achieve production and revenue goals. Today’s automotive companies need real-time visibility over countless moving parts, carefully coordinated production lines, and automation that accomplishes more with fewer workers.

Zebra Technologies™ offers a complete range of machine vision solutions, including 2D cameras, 3D cameras, barcode readers, smart cameras, machine vision and deep learning software, and powerful processing and capture components to address all of today’s automotive manufacturing processes and challenges. This comprehensive guide looks at some of the most common automotive manufacturing and assembly applications that rely on machine vision to maintain quality, safety, and production standards.
