 "Each
seat has got its place" - Just-in time manufacturing at TS-tech, a Honda
supplier
|

Thinking that seat manufacturing could be managed by
producing high volumes on stock means to be on the wrong
track. As a tier 1 supplier to Honda, TS Tech is
closely integrated into the vehicle assembly line. The
seats required must flow just-in-time into the continuing
process. When the automotive manufacturer permits quick
changes between the widest varieties of seat type,
upholstery and color the supplier has to react qickly. So
did Honda with their new Pick-up Ridgeline. |

TS Tech decided to update their entire manufacturing system using
state-of-the-art technology. This led to the decision to order a complete
turn-key system from Siemens with integrated diagnostic functionality:
In combination with a SIMATIC S7-400 PLC, sensors and actuators WinCC monitors
the whole production.
