Abstract

Assembly shop is considered as one of the most important parts of automobile manufacturing in which the frame of the vehicle is converted to the final product. The automobile manufacturers take good care of the overall assembly shop. The equipment, robots, and the developed process of the assembly shop cost more than the final product sometimes. Sensors are deployed to protect them from damage and assist them for the smooth processing. The assembly shop being autonomous maintains the high standard of the quality due to the proper integration of the sensor. This review focuses on the sensors used in the assembly shop, their type, and importance at each step of the shop.
