ABSTRACT

The automotive industry, which has undergone development over the last century, remains a crucial field in the advancement of mechanical engineering. Today, the large-scale production supply chain model has facilitated mass production. In recent years, automation technology has been integrated into multiple vertical sectors of the automotive manufacturing industry, fundamentally transforming the industry's landscape. The combination of industrial robots, intelligent sensors, and complex control systems has significantly enhanced production efficiency and process precision. The ultimate adoption of the flexible manufacturing concept has facilitated the development of modular and intelligent production lines, enabling efficient handling of a large number of different vehicle models. Automation enables core processes such as body welding, painting, and final assembly to optimize their efficiency and workflow, and realizes value in new processes like power battery manufacturing and lightweight material processing. The current technological wave is continuously driving automotive production towards the goal of high efficiency, high productivity, high-quality components, and high flexibility.
