Vehicle Solutions

Hit takt. Nail torque. Ship on time. Allied Automation designs and integrates automotive-grade automation that stabilises build flow, locks down quality at source, and keeps VIN-level traceability from BIW to the last mile.

The Automotive Bottlenecks We Eliminate

Torque Misses & Rework Loops

Station-level torque/angle capture with pass/fail logic.

Variant Chaos

Recipe control by VIN/option code (seat/infotainment/harness variants) so operators never guess.

EV & HV Handling Risks

Insulated tools, interlocks, and safe-state procedures for battery modules and orange-cable zones.

Paint & Trim Congestion

Smart buffering, kitting, and sequence integrity to stop blocking/starving.

End-of-line Surprises

Inline vision, leak, NVH and ECU flash verification earlier in the flow.

Distribution Drag

PDI automation, VIN scan at every gate, and better yard flow.

Hard Numbers You Can Plan Around

Plan Attainment

+10–22% via balanced stations and sequenced kitting

First-time-through (FTT)

+3–9 pts with at-source verification

Changeover setup time

−35–60% using SMED and recipe control

 

Rework & yard dwell

−20–45% through early defect capture and digital PDI

What Works

Your Vehicle Automation Toolkit

Robotics & Cobots for Trim/Chassis/Final

Fasteners, glass bonding, seal bead, gasket placement, wheel & seat install, adhesive cure handling. Cobots for human-collab ops with safe-motion.

EV Battery & High-Voltage Processes

Module/pack handling, lifters and fixtures, electrical isolation checks, safe-state interlocks, and barcode genealogy for cells/modules/packs.

Kitting, Feeding & Sequencing

Variant-aware kitting carts, AGV/AMR delivery to station, FIFO supermarkets, and error-proof pick-to-light for options

 

Vision, Measurement & Leak/NVH

Presence/absence, clip/pin detection, gap/flush, bead inspection, label OCR/OCV, wheel alignment checks, end-of-line leak/NVH prompts.

Controls & Orchestration (PLC • WES/WCS • SCADA)

Deterministic PLCs run the cell; WES/WCS orchestrates sequence and flows; SCADA exposes live KPIs, alarms, and shift handovers.

ECU Flash & Test Stands

VIN-tied ECU flashing with checksum verification, function tests (lighting, ADAS sensor self-check, seat motors), and automatic result upload.

Built for South Africa’s vehicle manufacturing

Vehicle Automation South Africa

  • Load-shedding tolerant: UPS on controls, stateful restarts, queued recipes—no blind steps after power returns.
  • Standards & audits: IATF 16949 mindset, ISO 13849/IEC 62061 safety functions, POPIA-aware data handling for PDI/customer info.
  • Local support: Spares kits sized to MTBF, remote diagnostics, and on-site SLAs in major hubs (GP/WC/KZN).
  • Energy discipline: Dashboards for kWh/unit and peak management to soften tariff pain.
