Key Challenges in Tire Manufacturing Automation
Tire plants face automation challenges such as –
- > Operating in high-temperature, dust-heavy, and vibration-prone environments
- > Handling bulky, flexible, and abrasive rubber materials
- > Ensuring precision in layering, pressing, and curing processes
- > Maintaining operator safety in high-risk zones
- > Achieving traceability and real-time monitoring across production
Robust automation systems built with industrial-grade components are essential to meet these needs.
