Diirr Deploys Digitized Paint Shop for SAIC VW

Despite restrictions caused by the coronavirus pandemic, Durr has handed over one of the biggest paint shops in China to SAIC Volkswagen on schedule. The new SAIC Volkswagen joint venture plant in Anting near Shanghai, where various electric models and conventionally powered vehicles are produced, boasts a production capacity that is twice that of a standard paintshop at 120 bodies per hour. A smart painting line records around 3,500 digital data points for every individual body alone. On top of this, sensors supply many gigabytes of data in process values for temperature, pressure and humidity.
