Project Overview
Developed a "component record" used to track information about each assembly component. This system is designed for assembling automotive parts, featuring multiple independent assembly stations, each controlled by a local Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). These stations operate autonomously to perform specific tasks in the assembly process, ensuring flexibility and efficiency.
Supervisory Architecture
A supervisory PC, running a custom C# application, acts as the central hub, communicating with each PLC to collect real-time data on components used during assembly. This is a working example of custom test cell controller software development — one application unifying multiple PLC-driven assembly stations into a coordinated cell with shared data, traceability, and reporting. Data is transmitted to a backend database, which records all component details, forming a comprehensive product birth record for every part produced.
Reporting & Traceability
The C# application not only aggregates this data but also generates detailed reports, providing insights into production metrics, component traceability, and quality assurance. Architecturally this is EOL functional test development wearing different clothes — every assembly station verifies its work, every part is traceable, and every shift's results are auditable. The integrated system streamlines operations, enhances data accuracy, and supports end-to-end traceability for automotive manufacturing.
