OREANDA-NEWS. As part of the implementation of innovative solution in production processes, Ford Sollers Company has installed new high-tech equipment at its engine plant in Yelabuga. Modernization was carried out at the sites of quality control and additional testing. As part of the additional equipment of the company, a new test area was organized; the plant also received innovative digital industrial cameras for remote monitoring of the production process.

According to the press service of Ford Sollers, 6 new industrial cameras check the correctness of the installation of engine parts by comparing the many image parameters, obtained during shooting. The camera takes a snapshot of the detail, then the station's internal software analyzes the snapshot and detects deviations from the specified parameters. New cameras are installed at a number of stations of the engine plant lines.

The new dynamometer stands allow the local execution of a series of planned engine tests, for example, endurance testing to check the life cycle of the engine during operation; thermal cycle tests to check the quality of castings and seals in the engine design, etc. Previously, the engines were tested at the engine plant stands in Bridgend, UK.
