NIO’s inspection stations use Flexiv adaptive robots
Print Edition
Robotic quality inspection robots made by Minhang-based industrial robotic arm manufacturer Flexiv have been put into use at NIO’s smart vehicle inspection stations in its production line.
The newly deployed robotic quality inspectors in the factories have significantly improved both inspection efficiency and quality, thereby redefining the standards of quality through technological innovation.
The Rizon 10 adaptive robots have been adopted for the inspection of charging functions, seat functions and interior components at Nio’s factory.
The intelligent inspection system can identify minor flaws with the precision of an experienced inspector, even surpassing the limits of human perception. This makes “zero-defect production” possible.
Compared to previous methods, the quality inspection efficiency for new vehicles has improved. This solution completes three major inspection steps in just 84 seconds, achieving a 48 percent efficiency increase compared to manual operations.
Additionally, the two robots can perform multiple tasks simultaneously by integrating force control technology and quick-change mechanisms; they are compatible with six NIO vehicle models and four charging gun/port types.
Notably, this solution enables digitization and smart production procedures, with robot-end data being detectable and traceable. By integrating it into NIO’s self-inspection software system for analysis, quality inspection processes can be continuously optimized, contributing to the creation of a new generation of smart factories.
The collaboration between NIO and Flexiv demonstrates the tangible value of smart manufacturing in automotive quality inspection.
With ongoing technological iteration, such innovative applications will further propel automotive manufacturing toward higher levels of efficiency and intelligence, delivering products with higher quality for consumers.
