PROJECT DESCRIPTION

In December 2019, with the W206 marking the latest
standard for Mercedes-Benz South Africa, SAR entered into a
collaborative effort with a partner company to finalize a
significant portion of the main assembly lines for the plant.
One big accomplishment was the implementation of the AGV
line. SAR undertook the installation of six AGV units into an
inductive, self-guided system integrated into the concrete
flooring.
The primary objective of the line was the marriage of vehicle
aggregates with engines and the marriage thereof into the
partially assembled bodies. The point where the engine was
mounted onto the vehicle marked a critical step in the
assembly process.
