A major UK automotive manufacturer was preparing one of its key production sites in the North West for the next generation of electric vehicles. To support this shift, the facility required a large-scale upgrade to its network and power infrastructure, starting with its Trim & Final assembly area.
Our Off-highway OEM customer needed to find an automated solution for the process of applying a bead of sealant to an oil sump prior to assembly to the main engine block. The current manual application process was slow and also resulted in quality and repeatability issues. Additionally, the number of variants of sumps meant a slow changeover time.
We were tasked with producing a climate temperature control plan for an international automotive testing facility.
We provided a turnkey solution encompassing integrated climate and vehicle test equipment cooling, as well as providing a bespoke test cell cooling infrastructure to suit the client’s demands.
JLR initiated the new L460/L461 projects which is the future premium models of Range Rover few years ago and this created a big demand for high technology machines. It is required that these machines need to meet high standards like robotic automation, smart vision systems, adaptability to multiple different variants and intelligent control systems.
adi Automotive was approached by Wipac, a lighting supplier to high end OEM vehicle manufacturers, to tender for the design, manufacture and commissioning of the manual and automatic assembly stations required for the rear and side lighting to be fitted to a new model electric vehicle being manufactured in Germany.
The OEM required LH & RH rear light units, a central tail light and LH & RH side indicator units, all to be supplied in two variants.
Our automotive IP / consoles customer has a very wide range of small assemblies, that together form full instrument panels and consoles for an automotive OEM.
A critical part of the assembly process is a 'No Faults Forward' methodology. When a single missing part can cause customer plant rejections - it is imperative that each assembly is right first time!
A major automotive manufacturer invited adi Climate Systems to submit a tender for a cooling system that would support their engine machining equipment.
The team at adi Climate Systems submitted a tender as requested but also offered alternative solutions that provided capital and operational cost savings.
The client proceeded with our revised offer and placed all design responsibility with adi Climate Systems. A free cooling chilled water system was installed within excess of 5,000kW of cooling and 3,000m of pipework.
In 2019, adi VCS were appointed EVCP infrastructure provider to NWAS sites across the North West region by Franklin Energy.
The team at adi VCS have been working with NWAS via Franklin Energy to deliver 33 x EVBox fast AC chargers to ambulance stations across the region. Throughout 2020 and 2021, we have continued working to help identify their EV charging needs across their 115 sites. This will enable them to support first line paramedic response from a fleet of EV’s as the organisation moves to reduce its carbon footprint.
In 2019, adi VCS were appointed EVCP infrastructure provider to Q-Park sites across throughout the UK by Franklin Energy.
Franklin Energy, developed an ‘own and operate’ public EV charging network with the car park operator, Q-Park. Franklin Energy owns public fast AC chargers in a number of popular key city centre car-park locations across their estate.
The flagship site is Liverpool One, and we have now installed chargers in:
While employed at Wipac, a premium automotive lighting manufacturer, they were awarded a contract from Porsche for the rear lighting on the new all-electric Taycan. The team at adi were professional, and the design and manufacture of the assembly tooling was accurate, well made, and reliable.
