Key takeaways
Conveyor systems have evolved significantly from the basic one-way belt used in Model-T production to highly flexible, custom-engineered systems.
Modern finishing and conveyor systems are increasingly designed on a product-by-product basis to meet diverse manufacturing needs.
Industrial IoT integration is playing a growing role in optimizing conveyor and finishing system performance.
Since the early 1900s, the assembly line has been a vital aspect of manufacturing cars and many other products. In 2018, there’s been a massive evolution from the simple one-way conveyor belt system used to manufacture the Model-T, to a more versatile, complex system created on a product by product basis.
Joining us is Kevin Howe, product and installation manager at IntelliFinishing, to discuss the conveyor systems he’s worked on and how the concept of the assembly line has evolved over time.
