Fireball Industries, Ignite Your Factory Efficiency
Automotive Manufacturing

Automation that keeps the line on takt.

Tier suppliers and OEM plants bring us in when a launch is coming, a line is short on people, or a station keeps missing cycle time. We design, build, and commission the cell, then stay on call after SOP.

Automotive Manufacturing
Problems

The problems we hear.

  • A station that can’t hold cycle time and starves the rest of the line

  • Operators you can’t hire or keep for repetitive load and unload jobs

  • Escapes and customer chargebacks from manual inspection

  • Aging PLCs and HMIs on a line that has to keep running through the upgrade

  • Robotic machine tending, press tending, and part transfer
  • Vision inspection, error proofing, and part traceability
  • AMRs and cobot packages moving parts between cells and to line side
  • PLC and HMI upgrades and migrations done around production schedules
  • Line integration, line moves, and restarting equipment after a relocation
  • TÜV machine safety assessments and guarding updates
Examples

What a project looks like.

  • Robotic press tending

    A robot loads and unloads a stamping press so the operator moves to inspection and the press runs every shift at the same rate.

  • Vision error proofing

    Cameras confirm every clip, fastener, and label before a part leaves the station, and each result is stored against the part’s serial number.

  • Controls migration on a running line

    Legacy PLCs and HMIs are replaced station by station over planned shutdowns, with the new program tested before cutover so the line comes back on the first shift.
