Automotive Manufacturing

Automotive plants operate with some of the tightest cycle-time and quality tolerances in manufacturing. Weld spatter, coolant mist, electromagnetic interference from welding equipment, and the physical scale of vehicle body parts all challenge sensing systems. Reliability across millions of cycles and compatibility with safety-rated architectures are non-negotiable.
