The Challenge

T-Erre manufactures high-precision diesel motors with complex multi-step assembly. Each motor has 200+ components that must be placed, oriented, and torqued correctly. Manual assembly relies on operator experience and paper checklistsβ€”prone to errors that reach customers.

Assembly Complexity at T-Erre

πŸ”§
Multiple Sub-Assemblies β€” Cylinder blocks, crankshafts, valve trains, fuel systems assembled separately then integrated
πŸ“‹
High Precision Required β€” Component tolerances Β±0.1mm, torque specs Β±5% for engine reliability
⚠️
Manual Inspection Risk β€” Operators miss orientation errors, miscounted fasteners, misalignment until test run
πŸ’°
Field Failures Expensive β€” Engine failure = recall, customer downtime, reputation damage

PIQAPART: AI-Powered Assembly Copilot

PIQAPART monitors each assembly step in real-time. At every checkpoint, AI vision verifies component presence, position, and orientation. Operator gets instant OK (green) or NG (red) feedback. No surprises at test-run.

Live Assembly Monitoring in Action

PIQAPART verifies component placement and orientation step-by-step. AI detects misalignment immediately. Operator receives real-time OK/NG feedback.

Industrial assembly workflow with PIQAPART monitoring. Each step verified, each component accounted for. Zero errors reach test.

PIQAPART Step-by-Step Process

1
Capture Assembly Frame
Camera captures current assembly state from fixed angle at each workstation.
2
AI Verification
Vision AI checks: component present? Correct position? Correct orientation? Fasteners tight?
3
Real-Time Feedback
Operator sees GREEN (OK – continue) or RED (NG – fix before proceeding) within 0.5 seconds.
4
Logging & Traceability
Every step photographed, timestamped, linked to motor serial number. 100% audit trail.

PIQAPART Benefits for T-Erre

βœ…
Zero Assembly Defects
100% step verification. Every component position confirmed before moving to next step. No defects reach test.
⚑
Faster Assembly
Operators don’t need to double-check or wait for supervisor review. AI confirms instantly. 25% faster cycle time.
πŸ“Š
Complete Traceability
Every motor assembly step logged with photos, timestamps, operator ID. Compliance & warranty support.
πŸ‘€
Operator Confidence
No guessing. AI confirms every action. Reduces stress, improves job satisfaction, cuts training time.
πŸ’°
Prevents Recalls
Assembly errors caught at workstation, not in field. Saves €500k+ per recall avoided.
🎯
Continuous Improvement
Data shows which steps cause most errors. T-Erre uses insights to improve assembly design & tooling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can PIQAPART handle multiple assembly variants (different models)?β–Ό
Yes. PIQAPART is trained on multiple motor variants. Operator selects model at start of assembly. AI adapts verification rules accordingly. T-Erre runs 5 different motor models on same line.
How fast is the AI feedback?β–Ό
0.5 seconds from step completion to operator feedback. Operator completes assembly step β†’ camera captures β†’ AI processes β†’ green/red light triggers. No line slowdown.
What if AI says “NG” but operator disagrees?β–Ό
Supervisor can override with password. Override is logged (who, when, why). AI learns from overrides. False positive rate drops after each override correction.
Does PIQAPART check torque values?β–Ό
PIQAPART monitors fastener visual presence and positioning. For torque verification, integrate with smart torque wrenches (wireless connection). Combined system gives 100% assembly verification.
How is the data used for continuous improvement?β–Ό
Dashboard shows: which steps most error-prone, which operators need coaching, failure pattern analysis. T-Erre used this to improve workstation design, reducing errors by an additional 40%.
What’s the training time for operators?β–Ό
30 minutes hands-on introduction. Most operators master system in one shift. AI feedback is intuitive (green/red light). After day 2, operators prefer PIQAPART to manual assembly.
