Building Ford Explorer – Episode #2

Jun 21, 2024

COLOGNE, Germany – Did you know that Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a key role ensuring all-electric Explorer is produced fault-free at Ford’s Cologne EV Center? In this second in our series of short videos documenting the production process, we go behind the scenes at the Vehicle Body Quality Center.

Here, Explorers are randomly inspected with a new precision tool that uses camera- and sensor-equipped robots to measure the shape of the body.  An AI-based precision measuring system with a photonic crystal fibre sensor checks all the critical bolting points, while a mobile AI vision system scans the vehicle body to compare it with a perfect data twin.

Next week, we show you how the paint shop delivers the best finish ever for a Ford vehicle.
