Final Thesis: Enhancing Efficiency and Productivity: Streamlining Milling and Cap Change Cycles for Automated Spot-Welding Robots in the Body Shop of the Mercedes-Benz Plant in Tuscaloosa, AlabamaData analysis and determination of non-productive electrode milling and changing processes in spot-welding stations using MES, PLC, and Bosch welding controls. Reduction of over cycle times in spot-welding stations by up to 10min/shift Enhancement of overall equipment efficiency through lean manufacturing approaches. Simulation of the impact on production lines using a self-developed Excel tool. Managing and supervising an interdisciplinary team to implement improvements in the spot-welding stations.
