Not every assembly line needs to be automated to be efficient.

At Jendamark, we design assembly solutions around the needs of each customer.

This fully manual rear axle assembly line brings together 14 operators, supported by manipulators that assist with handling heavy components and bolting tools.

With parts introduced manually and dedicated bolting and torquing tools used throughout the process, the line combines hands-on assembly with practical engineering solutions.

Another example of how we bring people, processes and technology together on the production floor.

How autonomous is your production floor?

Manufacturing autonomy isn't an overnight transformation. It's a journey through six levels, each bringing new opportunities to improve efficiency, decision-making and production performance.

On Thursday, 29 October, we're hosting an exclusive event at Jendamark USA in Auburn Hills, Michigan, where our Innovations Director, Yanesh Naidoo, will be sharing insights into the next evolution of advanced manufacturing.

Drawing on Jendamark's experience delivering over 3,000 assembly systems worldwide, Yanesh will unpack the six levels of manufacturing autonomy, what it takes to move between them and where AI can make a real difference on the factory floor.

The event will also feature live ODIN Workstation demonstrations, showcasing how real-time production data and AI agents can support smarter manufacturing decisions.

Some cars become bigger than the badge on the bonnet.

AE86. BNR32. JZA80. FD3S.

For enthusiasts, those chassis codes are enough to identify an entire generation of Japanese performance cars.

They represent different eras of vehicle design, engineering, drivetrains and performance.

Over time, the code becomes shorthand for the car itself.

For engineers, manufacturers and enthusiasts, those codes became part of the language of the industry.

A model name may change. A badge may evolve. But some codes stay instantly recognisable decades later.

So this one is simply for the car people.

What happens when a missed assembly step makes it all the way to the customer?

For Electra EV in India, disconnected assembly processes and paper-based traceability made it difficult to catch errors before parts moved down the line. Missed torque operations and incomplete checks were contributing to quality complaints and rework.

To address this, we implemented ODIN Workstation across Electra EV’s E-Box and Drivetrain assembly lines.

With guided work instructions, process interlocks, integrated tooling and digital traceability, operators can follow the correct assembly sequence while critical checks are recorded against each part.

The results reported by Electra EV speak for themselves.

Since implementing ODIN Workstation in November 2023, Electra EV has demonstrated what better process control can achieve on the factory floor.

Read the full case study to see how we helped make it happen.

In manufacturing, quality, safety and consistency matter, no matter where in the world you operate.

At Jendamark, internationally recognised standards guide how we work, helping us deliver reliable automation solutions to customers across the globe.

This World Standards Day, we recognise the importance of shared standards in building safer, more consistent and reliable manufacturing processes.

What happens when an operator picks up the wrong socket for the job?

On an assembly line, one bolting tool can handle multiple torque settings. But selecting the wrong socket can lead to costly assembly errors.

At Jendamark, we use sensor-equipped socket trays and mechanical poka-yoke features to help prevent these mistakes.

If the wrong socket is selected, the tool won't start.

This helps reduce operator errors while allowing manufacturers to get more value from a single bolting tool.

Watch the video to see how it works.

February 2027 is getting closer. Is your battery production ready for what comes next?

From February 2027, certain batteries placed on the EU market will require a digital battery passport containing battery model and individual battery information.

For manufacturers, that puts even more focus on the data and traceability behind every unit.
Every process. Every test. Every critical result.

That might be manageable on a spreadsheet when you're producing 40 units. But what happens when you scale to 10,000?

When a quality issue occurs, detailed part history can help identify which units were actually affected instead of widening the investigation across thousands. In automotive manufacturing, this level of traceability is already standard practice.

Battery manufacturing is heading in the same direction.
The challenge is building that traceability into your manufacturing process before volume makes it difficult to manage.

At Jendamark, this is a challenge we already know from automotive manufacturing. The question is whether your production system is ready to prove how every unit was built.

If traceability is becoming a challenge as your production scales, let’s talk about how to build it into your manufacturing process.
