Launch following successful pilot project with Wolfsburg plant logistics Roll-out in the area of order picking At Volkswagen’s Wolfsburg plant, the roll-out of 3D smart glasses as standard equipment has now started following a three-month pilot phase. Plant logistics personnel are to use these glasses for order picking. The objective is to further improve process security in production. The benefits of 3D smart glasses are evident: users automatically receive all the information they need such as storage locations or part numbers directly in their field of vision. Touch or voice control allows extremely easy operation. As a general principle, users have both their hands free while they are working. The camera in the glasses is also used as a barcode reader. Correct barcodes on parts removed from the storage location are shown in green while parts incorrectly removed are shown in red. Reinhard de Vries, Head of Plant Logistics at Wolfsburg, said: “Digitalization is becoming incr...

With Volkswagen’s introduction of the MQB EA888 Gen3 1.8T/2.0T engine came multiple advancements in technology and production. Significant weight savings were accomplished through molded plastic parts throughout the powertrain; unfortunately, this included the engine’s oil pan. With no protection to cover such an important, yet fragile part, it’s easy to see why a plastic oil pan needs protection! From the daily driver at stock height to the enthusiast with an aggressive suspension drop, the ECS Aluminum Street Shield adds peace of mind and protection against potholes, road debris and other predators looking to put a hole in your pan.

Additionally, the ECS skid plate encompasses the full length of the engine undercarriage from the front bumper cover to...
