Renowned for huge volumes of petrol and diesel engine output, Audi’s plant at Györ added to its portfolio midway through last year.

Audi Hungaria now uses an innovative modular production line for its daily volumes of around 400 electric axle motors, part of the e-tron drive system.

The assembly cells, equipment and measuring stations are in fixed positions but are not set in a linear arrangement. Instead, drive systems are assembled via a modular method across production islands. Still with a predefined assembly sequence, the modular system allows branched paths and greater freedom of scope in the process. AGVs, controlled from an intelligent IT network, convey parts between workstations.
