Automation that fits the line you already have

Output targets keep rising while labor is limited and quality requirements get stricter. Hard-tooled systems and full cell re-engineering make every change expensive.

This guide shows where robotics actually pays off in automotive production — across both OEM and Tier supplier environments — and how to deploy it without re-engineering the whole cell or adding heavy guarding.

You’ll see real deployments, from camshaft assembly and machine tending to line-side part delivery, and how cobots and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) work together to keep material moving between cells, with AMRs delivering kits, sub-assemblies and line-side parts just in time while cobots perform the next operation.

What you'll get:

10 application fields with key outcomes: frame welding, screwdriving, nut running, clip insertion, press fit, glue and adhesive, camshaft assembly, EV battery assembly, autonomous waste removal, and parts intralogistics.
OEM and Tier supplier application matrices: where cobots and AMRs are installed today, from powertrain and body shop to seats, interiors, electronics, and brakes.
Case stories: Mercedes-Benz, Ford, Stellantis, Opel, Seat Components, thyssenkrupp Bilstein, and BAI Lear, plus T&W Stamping (payback under four months) and GKN Driveline (24-hour operation).
Cobots and AMRs working together: mobile robots deliver kits and sub-assemblies just in time while cobots perform the next operation.
Specs and ecosystem: the UR cobot range, MiR AMRs and mobile cobots, 500+ UR+ components, and MiR Go top modules.
