Robotics
The company’s plant in Gujarat deploys advanced robotic spot welding, robotic roller hemming, and robotic brazing facilities to achieve first-class weld quality and dimensional consistency.
The paint shop engages robotic application at all stages of coating to achieve quality product and colour harmony. The new assembly line operates with the help of advanced Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) for various assembly processes.
A first in the industry, the company said touchscreen pads are also available at each assembly work station for employees to connect and alert the system centrally to avoid errors.
Also, MG Hector Plus comes integrated with the revolutionary Over the Air (OTA) technology, permitting customers to update software/firmware, feature themes, and infotainment content seamlessly.
The vehicle is projected as the first internet car in India. This SUV comes with a premium new look including the all-new Headlamps, Front Grille, Front and Rear Bumpers, New Rear Tail Light Design, and Revised Skid Plates.
