The last decades have seen an incredible transformation in the automotive industry, thanks to the growth in productivity of the fabrication of vehicles, which is also due to the innovation of automotive materials and technologies.
These state-of-the-art changes are part of a greater industry transition in terms of energy and fuel alternatives to gasoline and diesel, in order to reduce the environmental impact of the automotive industry.
As this is one of the four main industries in which we provide materials, we at Deacero Summit take enormous pride in staying avant-garde in the latest automotive technologies.
Technological innovation in the automotive fabrication industry
The evolution of vehicles has been a direct result of major technological advancements in their fabrication process, such as the introduction of robots on the assembly line and 3D technology.
These innovations have greatly reduced manufacturing flaws as well as time and costs throughout all stages of production. In doing so, producers in the automotive industry are able to become more competitive and perform at a higher level and in safer conditions.
Design of vehicles
Engineers and designers use computer-aided design (CAD) programs to create precise drawings of real-time products. Afterward, these design drafts are reviewed and tested aerodynamically in order to optimize the vehicles’ potential performance and fuel efficiency.
Safety and environmental regulations are notably relevant during this stage, as designers should be able to set a standard for the latter parts of production.
Selection of materials
Careful selection of materials is crucial to guaranteeing durability and safety in the automotive industry, and we at Deacero Summit are perfectly aware of that. That is why we prioritize working only with high-quality low-weight carbon steel wires that are equally resistant to impact as they are easily recyclable.
Moreover, leading this industry also means contributing to making vehicles’ composition more efficient and sustainable fuel-wise, thus reducing carbon emissions in the process.
Manufacturing and assembly lines
At this stage in production, all manufacturing components are integrated into the final product. This vehicle still undergoes electric and mechanical systems testing to ensure adequate behavior.
Quality control checkup
This very critical stage involves evaluating many technical aspects, like the alignment of wheels, the functioning of the brake system, and the electronic system. Driving tests are also performed to correct any other anomalies.
These final quality audits must ensure that vehicles meet all required standards before being shipped off to their respective dealerships.
Future trends and technologies
Some of the most innovative additions to the automotive industry strive to promote sustainability and social responsibility practices, as is the case of the development of autonomous electric vehicles, and the implementation of smart factories.
Autonomous electric vehicles (AEV)
For decades now, vehicles powered by electricity (EV) have gained immense popularity due to their contribution to lowering the environmental impact of the industry and transitioning to more efficient energy solutions. In this matter, automotive companies like Tesla and Nissan have definitely paved the way to secure this new era of innovation in the automotive industry.
Meanwhile, the likes of multinational companies like Ford and Google have been central to the introduction of artificial intelligence in vehicle production, thus impacting safety and efficiency throughout all means of transportation.
Automatization and smart factories
Automized systems, specifically collaborative robots or “cobots” allow for more precision and efficiency throughout the assembly line, which in turn reduces human error and operational costs. Automation has additionally enabled personalization in vehicles that are more likely to adapt better to market demands.
