Stop&Go production lines for car seats

COMPANY: Car seat manufacturer
INDUSTRY: Automotive
PROBLEM: The need to modernize the production line to increase efficiency, assembly precision, and adapt to new seat models.

To increase efficiency and implement modern technologies, the Client decided to carry out a comprehensive modernization of the production line for car seat assembly. A key element of the project was the implementation of a new electrical standard and PLC Siemens Simatic S7 control software with the HMI Proface system. Additionally, the system included a rear seat locking and control station, which required precise component integration and process optimization.

The MJ Group team, in cooperation with AUTOMET Group, carried out a comprehensive implementation including:

• development and implementation of electrical standards according to Client’s requirements,
• design and programming of PLC Siemens Simatic S7 controllers and HMI Proface system,
• comprehensive modernization of production line control systems,
• integration and optimization of the rear seat locking and control station,
• complete commissioning and testing of the production line to ensure maximum efficiency,
• cooperation with the engineering department in France to ensure compliance with international standards.

With the implementation of a new electrical and automation standard based on Siemens Simatic S7 PLCs and the HMI Proface interface, MJ Group provided the Client with:

• increased precision and reliability of the assembly process,
• full control over each stage of production,
• fast diagnostics and remote system monitoring capability,
• improved ergonomics and intuitive operation for production operators.

As a result of the production line modernization, the Client achieved:

• increased production efficiency through reduced downtime and optimized system performance,
• improved quality and assembly precision in line with international standards,
• improved operator safety,
• ability to quickly adapt the production line to new car seat models,
• reduced operating costs thanks to modern components and software.
