Taking Ford further

摘要

The Ford Motor Company - a name synonymous with innovation - has once again shown its leadership by implementing the largest PC-controlled assembly line in the European automotive industry. A new assembly line at Ford's Halewood Transmission Plant uses an Open Automation System from Cutler-Hammer, the world-leading manufacturer of industrial controls and power distribution products and systems equipment. The £6.5 million line currently produces over 2000 gearboxes a day for Ford Puma, Fiesta and Escort cars worldwide.
