OIS-P for the Audi TT
There are currently 350 Audi TT chassis carriers circulating through production and conveyor stations in Audi’s new
auto body factory in Ingolstadt, Germany. Based on information stored on the OIS-P tags, robots at about 80 stations
throughout the production process are programmed to process the various options. Then data relating to product quality
is documented, and the flow of the chassis carriers throughout the conveyor system can be controlled.
