What is "automotive final assembly"?

"Automotive assembly" refers to the "assembly of automotive products (including vehicle and assembly, etc.)", which is the process of assembling hundreds or thousands of various parts and components that have passed the inspection into a vehicle and engine, transmission and other assemblies according to certain technical requirements, and is one of the most important process links in the manufacturing process of automotive products.

Among them, the management of parts is the key link that affects the production efficiency and product quality. In traditional parts warehouses, the location is mainly identified by paper labels. When the warehouse system issued the goods in and out of the warehouse instruction, personnel can only manually check the material information on the paper label to confirm the completion of replenishment after replenishment, and can not feedback the replenishment result systematically and digitally.

Due to the inability to trace the import and export of parts in real time, parts warehouses will often be in a "black box" state, replenishment problems can not be dealt with in time, but also easily lead to warehouse information is not allowed, material missing difficult to hold accountable and other problems, ultimately affecting the efficiency of the production line and product quality.



ESL electronic tags help the digital transformation of automotive final assembly plants

In an automobile final assembly plant in North China, Yunli Wuli ESL electronic label replaced the traditional paper warehouse card, combined with the cloud platform system management, effectively solved the traditional paper warehouse label caused by the warehouse problems, to achieve the digital upgrade of auto parts management.

ESL electronic label with low power consumption ink screen can quickly refresh the display content and update the warehouse material information in real time. The label is linked with the cloud platform system in real time, and the input and exit information is timely fed back to the background to achieve efficient and transparent parts management.

Smart display quick update

More accurate material management


In a general automobile factory in North China, ESL electronic label as a location card, can display text, ICONS, forms, two-dimensional code bar code and other elements, can customize the display template according to actual needs, label binding corresponding data, quickly refresh the content through Bluetooth 5.0, eliminating paper label production, printing, installation and other links. Greatly improve inventory accuracy and material management efficiency.

Efficient linkage of cloud management

The entry and exit information can be traced


ESL electronic tags combined with the intelligent cloud platform optimize the input and exit process of auto parts, making material management safer and more reliable.

Taking parts replenishment as an example, the staff first determines the replenishment area and screens the corresponding shelves in the background of the system. After finding the specific position, the background pushes the LED light intelligent flashing instruction to the label, and the label lights up to guide the personnel to quickly find the location of the parts.

After the replenishment is completed, the personnel only need to operate the button on the label, and the ESL electronic label will automatically synchronize the replenishment information to the cloud platform and update the inventory information in real time.

Therefore, the inbound and outbound process is safer and more efficient, not only can avoid human operation errors, but also the management can more accurately grasp the number and location of parts, so as to take timely measures such as replenishment or allocation to ensure the continuous operation of the production line.

In addition, the cloud platform supports docking and integration with the internal system of the enterprise, the data of ESL electronic tags can be shared in a timely manner, and is highly integrated with the production process, providing reliable support for the fine management and decision-making of the enterprise.

In the field of automotive final assembly, ESL electronic tags in the cloud are an important part of digital transformation. By updating inventory information in real time and improving the security and traceability of the in-and-out process, ESL electronic labels not only improve production efficiency, but also bring more intelligent parts inventory management solutions to enterprises.

From "black box" to "transparent", this shift enhances the controllability of the production process and increases the competitive advantage of automobile manufacturers. With the continuous innovation of technology, the application of ESL electronic labels in the field of automotive final assembly will continue to deepen, inject vitality into the digital transformation of the industry, and help the automobile manufacturing industry to move towards an intelligent and efficient future.
