Wiring Harness
Automation
The factory of the future.
Q5D’s wiring automation robots are changing the way vehicles are built. Cost savings from 10X productivity gains are matched by sensational improvements in electrical/electronic functionality and wiring quality and consistency.
What’s more, smart automation is streamlining supply chains and boosting their resilience, enabling electrical connectivity to be co-located with final vehicle assembly.
Around the world, leading automotive OEMs and their Tier 1 suppliers are engaging with us to develop the factories of the future through manufacturing that will underpin global competitiveness.
- Reduce Costs
- Unlock Functionalities
- Increase Quality
Sectors
Following early engagements in the automotive sector, Q5D has attracted customers in the aerospace and defence, and consumer electrical goods sectors. As the need for electrification spreads to products in many more industries, the company’s technology will be applicable to these too.
Wiring harness automation
Q5D’s 5-axis robots address one of the most persistent bottlenecks in modern manufacturing: the manual assembly of wiring harnesses. Still done by hand in industries like automotive, aerospace, and consumer electronics, this labour-intensive process is costly, error-prone, and frequently offshored to low-wage countries.
Our wiring automation removes the need for wiring harness inventory and unlocks substantial improvements in wiring efficiency, weight, and reliability. For example, in the automotive sector, conservative estimates suggest that this automation can reduce wiring costs by up to 200 USD per compact vehicle.
Products
Product Support
Q5D’s customer Technical Assessment Centre (TAC) at its Portishead, Bristol, UK, facility is designed to help customers with feasibility studies, design for manufacturing, and prototyping as they transition from traditional wire harnesses to full automation.
It is utilised by several major automotive and aerospace OEMs and their Tier 1 suppliers.
Wiring automation robots in the centre support build volumes up to 2.5m x 1.5m x 0.35m, enabling large components such as vehicle headliners to be accommodated.
