Parametric standards are used to develop layouts of Geico equipment during the design, construction, and assembly phases, for the management and submission of documentation. The development of 3D parametric parts allows the real-time modification of all engineering components.
IEL is a tool for sharing and marking up 3D layout models optimized for Geico CAD systems. Using a physical room and immersive reality software, it is possible to navigate the 3D system on a 1:1 scale for verification, for example, of dimensions, equipment positions, and so on.
J-Rover is the new concept of body handling within the paintshop on independent shuttles. It allows creating systems with flexible layouts that are easily modifiable, thus allowing a production concept with highly flexible cells customized according to the product.
This is Geico proprietary software designed for the customer to digitize documentation and simplify the consultation of all the information related to the plant to be maintained on a single platform.
By reading the Plant Breakdown Structure, the process tags, and P&I, the program makes it possible to easily obtain all the information relating to the plant part or equipment directly in the field.
The reading of the main information relating to a particular piece of equipment mounted on the plant is done thanks to an infrared tablet included in the package that reads the barcode on the equipment itself.
Live image recognition consists of remote viewing tools that, thanks to advanced AI algorithms, allow the detection of anomalies and the verification of process settings. High-resolution cameras observe areas and equipment while artificial intelligence interprets the feed to identify anomalies and alert operators via messages.
Retrofitting of existing plants to improve classification in terms of eco-sustainability, starting from an analysis of the existing situation, a comparison with the current state of the art, a simulation of the benefits and payback of possible interventions, an evaluation of the feasibility, and the cost of any modifications.
this is the centralized digital platform (Digital Twin) that allows every process and processing phase to be monitored. It simplifies quality control, predictive maintenance, and the management of the paintshop as a whole, thereby progressively improving its performance and efficiency.
All this translates into geolocation of the bodies, safety sensors to prevent malfunctions, Internet of Things to analyze and improve the painting stages in real time, wearable technology for perfect human-machine interaction, augmented reality, and an innovative system for managing energy consumption, all managed in the cloud with J-Suite.
The revolution is comprehensive: it affects the spheres of efficiency, safety, quality, cost saving, and respect for the environment.
Thanks to its Smart Paintshop, Geico has been recognized for the best research and innovation in the world, receiving the highest award: the Innovation Award at SurCar Cannes 2017.
