Türkiye's automotive industry has a history spanning more than 60 years and ranks among the country's three largest sectors. Its highly dynamic nature requires exceptional flexibility and close adoption of emerging technologies. Automation is therefore deeply established in automotive manufacturing. Long before many other industries discovered automation as a solution, vehicle manufacturers were using industrial robots and sensor technology to improve productivity and efficiency in assembly plants. What role does automation play in the automotive industry today, how might it evolve, and where can Oskon support your operation?
Most automotive plants use automation to some degree at almost every stage of vehicle production. Automated equipment is particularly important in manufacturing, welding, paint shops, assembly and material handling. Automation commonly involves integrating robotics into critical processes to save time, increase capacity and protect employees from hazardous conditions and repetitive work.
Optimises cycle time and repeatability across welding, assembly and handling operations.
Creates fixtures, cells and control architectures that adapt to model changes.
Detects defects during production through process data, machine vision and traceability.
Automation can be used on automotive assembly lines to rivet, fasten or join both large and small components. Oskon Automation provides solutions for assembly operations including:
- Buffer Areas
- Automatic Carriers and Telescopic Bars
- Hanger Systems
- Trim Lines
- Quality Control Lines
- Chassis Lines
We deliver engineering and automation support across these areas.
Automotive manufacturers use welding automation to join materials faster, more safely and more efficiently. Solutions may include customised welding cells, six-axis robots for MIG or laser welding, and other specialised applications. Automated welding improves quality, keeps employees away from sparks and hazardous conditions, and reduces waste. Oskon Automation supports welding operations including:
We provide integrated automation support across these welding applications.
Paint-process automation in automotive plants aims to achieve more within a smaller footprint, improve workplace safety and optimise accuracy and quality. Industrial paint booths equipped with sensors, algorithms and cameras can inspect an object, recognise patterns, assess dimensions and execute the process with high precision. Oskon Automation's paint-shop solutions include:
- Sanding Booths
- Body Filler Booths
- Dry and Wet Paint Booths
- Paint Shop Ovens
- Electrocoating Plants (KTL)
- Continuous Paint Shops
- Paint Shop Climate Control (TAR Chiller)
Alongside Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) solutions, Oskon Automation has a strong automotive reference base including Ford, TOGG, Mercedes-Benz, MAN, Tofaş, BMC, Tülomsaş and Tüvasaş.
