Mercedes-Benz develops data-controlled production in the Factory 56 with Datenberg

In the "Factory 56", the car factory of the future, Mercedes-Benz is using innovative technologies and processes in the production of its vehicles across the board. With the aim of further increasing the quality and flexibility of vehicle assembly worldwide, they have teamed up with startups that offer digital solutions, such as Datenberg. Datenberg works on processes for data-driven production. The aim set for the joint pilot project was to automate the analysis of the gap-measuring system in the assembly shop and body-in-white area. For this purpose, a software module for the continuous analysis of influences on vehicle joints was installed and continuously supplied with data such as geometries, screwing and bonding data. The data is prepared for the different target groups, such as planners, assembly line employees and maintenance staff, and process values are continuously visualized, which are then supplemented by other possible influencing variables. This makes digital rapid information for conspicuous trends in the data possible, and thus protects against even the smallest defects.
