Artificial intelligence for automotive paint and component assembly plants
Tier 1 plants that mold, paint and assemble plastic components — mirror housings, moldings, fascias — live off two metrics: the FTQ of their paint line and adherence to the sequence towards the OEM customer. Between the two sits the margin — scrap, purges, premium freight — and approved supplier status itself.
This page brings together 12 applied cases of the IRIS architecture deployed by iLEAN in this sub-sector: frictionless capture of what today lives on paper, panels and spreadsheets (Connect), machine vision on the line for defects and color changeovers (Edge), and agents that turn all that evidence into audit dossiers and timely decisions (Agents). Always with humans in command: nothing enters the central system without validation.
Each case links to its full page: the problem as it is lived at the line side, the piece of iLEAN that solves it, the before and after, and the ROI in conservative ranges. All are deployable piece by piece; you start with one, not with the whole platform.
