Just-in-sequence traceability that lifted OEE by 9 points.
A German OEM body-shop was losing time to sequence errors and had no audit-grade genealogy for IATF 16949.
The challenge
What they were up against.
Sequence errors caused rework
Mis-sequenced work drove rework and unplanned line stoppages.
No audit-grade genealogy
IATF 16949 traceability could not be reconstructed quickly for audit.
Manual tool control
Torque-tool control was manual and not bound to the vehicle.
Our approach
Vendor-neutral, outcome-led.
We combined UWB tool control with RAIN RFID just-in-sequence traceability, integrated to Siemens Opcenter MES, binding every torque event to the VIN.
How we solved it
What we delivered.
- Just-in-sequence WIP traceability at IATF 16949 audit grade
- UWB-tagged torque tools bound to the VIN
- Siemens Opcenter MES integration
