Smart Assembly QuickScan discover where your process can be faster, smarter and error-free
Schedule an appointment with a specialist and gain insight into opportunities for process optimization with sensor technology and data analytics.
- Real-time insight into critical process steps and deviations
- Reduced rejects, rework and downtime
- Better flow: shorter lead times and more predictable outputs
- Scalable: from a single workstation to complete line/plant
The building blocks of Smart Assembly
Sensors & vision
Measure and verify critical process steps with the right mix of sensors and cameras. From presence and position detection to recognition and verification (e.g., laser, RFID and vision) - tailored to your product and environment.
Quality management
Bring objective quality checks to where errors occur. Signal deviations early, reduce manual checks and make quality more consistent-so that rework and surprises decrease later in the process.
Integration
Make measurement data directly usable in your operation: notifications, dashboards and reports that match your working methods. Links to PLC/MES/ERP are often possible, but always dependent on the systems and preconditions present.
What do we mean by Smart Assembly?
Smart Assembly combines smart sensors/cameras with data analytics to continuously measure process parameters (such as position, motion, temperature, throughput) and identify deviations early. This prevents delays, errors and unplanned downtime and builds data for structural optimization.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does it provide?
When does this suit your organization?
Not much. A brief description of the process and where the frustration is often enough. Photos/videos of the workplace or line help assess what is measurable more quickly. If data is already available (e.g., PLC signals, fault logs, quality records), we include it-but it is not a requirement.
Yes. You will receive an overview of the most promising areas for improvement and a proposal for a logical next step (e.g. pilot/PoC, demo setup or a plan of action). Goal: clarity and direction, so you can make internally informed decisions.
For processes where quality, lead time or error probability strongly depends on repeatable steps: assembly, control/inspection, picking/verification, (semi-)automatic lines and workstations with many manual operations. Especially interesting where errors now become visible late or where downtime/rework has a high impact.
Right then. We look at where an objective check (sensor/vision) can support or partially replace manual steps. Often it's not about “automating everything,” but about smartly verifying critical points so people have to do less searching, double-checking or fixing.
We start at the question: what needs to be proven? (presence, position, orientation, identification, defect, temperature, etc.). Then we assess the environment (light, reflections, speed, distance, pollution) and choose the technology that is reliable and low maintenance. If necessary, we recommend a short test or demo setup to reduce risks in advance.
This is exactly what we test. These kinds of factors often determine which technology is/is not suitable and how you solve mounting, shielding or lighting. In the QuickScan, we discuss these preconditions explicitly and, if necessary, recommend a practical test to gain certainty before making larger investments.
By keeping it simple and useful: clear signaling, minimal extra actions, and output that fits the shop floor (e.g., a clear OK/NOK, work instruction at the right time, or a practical dashboard). We include operator flow in the design-because a solution that doesn't get used doesn't optimize anything.
