Case Study: Automotive Production Quality Control
Remotely Real-Time Monitoring and Analysis for Automotive Production
Chery International
5G Industrial IoT
Introduction: Chery Automobile Co., Ltd. was founded in 1997. It is a globalized automobile brand located in China. Chery is the automobile manufacturer mainly for sedans and SUVs, production in around 15 countries. Chery and Jaguar Land Rover joint venture for an assembly production line in China for Jaguar and Land Rover cars.
Over the past 20 years, Chery has always insisted on independent innovation, established a global automotive R&D team, as well as high efficiency assembly manufacture capability.
Chery is gradually establishing the holistic technology and product R&D system.
A case here is the automatics gluing system. In additional to the positioning by robot arm, there are multiple cameras system to be a supervisor vision for position order, and streaming video back to the Quality Control system for criterial inspection. This QC analysis system is running on remote data center.
In automatic gluing system, camera scan the car body, get positioning and arrange the gluing scheduling then inspection, all processes control and judgment by remote QC analysis system.
Remote Production QC Challenges:
- Transmit high resolution video out of private network over 5G
- QC application is running on data center, real-time video processing
- Bidirectional supervision control
- Stable connection
Solution: edgeWares nDrift (layer-2 tunnel building features) create a Layer-2 virtual network which bridges the communication from QC application on datacenter to production cameras over 5G network. edgeWares solution offers the bi-directional supervision and control of the production camera remotely, and the adaptive QoS guarantees the high bandwidth video demand.
Achievement:
Terminal Reverse-Access on 5G network
Overlay Tunnel: bridge different subnets over 5G
[private network ⇔ outside datacenter]
