Abstract

The completely automation of a manufacturing processes lead to higher production rates and increased productivity, better product quality, improved safety and reduced factory lead times. The One-Shot® Method was created to include all of the steps of traditional car components manufacturing into a single an all-in-one process. The One-Shot® C lower pillar is a multi-component, consisting of a part made of thermoplastic material, a layer of sound-absorbing polyurethane foam material and a fabric or leather covering.
