The E-Bike Boom: Is Your Production Line Ready?

The global E-bike market is growing at unprecedented rates. Brands are racing to scale production, but traditional manual assembly lines struggle to keep up. Low yield rates, long cycle times, and high labor costs are bottlenecks that hinder growth.

Challenge: Manual Production Bottlenecks

Before automation, our client faced several key issues:

● Low yield: Only 30% of E-bike motors passed quality inspection.
● High labor demand: 30 operators per shift, leading to high overhead.
● Long cycle times: 300 seconds per assembly, limiting throughput.
● Inconsistent quality: Manual winding resulted in frequent errors.

[ Solution: DETZO Fully Automated Coil Winding Line ]

DETZO designed and implemented Asia’s first fully automated production line for E-bike motors. Key innovations included:

1. Automated Coil Winding Modules: High-precision winding ensures consistent motor performance.
2. Custom Jigs & Fixtures: Designed for quick setup and minimal adjustment.
3. Integrated AOI (Automated Optical Inspection): Real-time defect detection during assembly.
4. MES Data Integration: Centralized data management to monitor process, performance, and yield.
5. Lean Manpower Deployment: From 30 operators down to 5, saving 70% on labor costs.
