Color sensor checks auto plugs
At its Saarbrücken, Germany plant, automotive-parts manufacturer ZF Getriebe must inspect colored plugs used in transmissions to seal out water during a washing process. The plant produces approximately 4000 four-, five-, and six-speed transmissions a day, comprising 14 basic types with 120 variants. Production must be tightly organized, and every step in the workflow must be integrated.
