ArtiMinds Develops a Demonstrator for Automated Wire Harness Assembly
In collaboration with leading research and industry partners, ArtiMinds Robotics is advancing the digitalization and automation of the value chain for wiring harness systems in automotive applications through the research project Next2OEM. The project aims to bring wiring harness production—a key technology for the automotive industry—back to Germany (reshoring) by leveraging innovative approaches and end-to-end automation.
ArtiMinds is focusing its efforts in Next2OEM on developing robust and flexible solutions for the automated assembly of pliable wiring harnesses. The high variability and low structural stability of wiring harnesses have historically made many processes in their production challenging to automate. To address this, ArtiMinds is developing specialized gripping technologies and flexible, sensor-adaptive handling and joining strategies tailored for wiring harness assembly.
