KSK Manufacturing: Utilize KSK Production Solutions to Tackle Complexity & Increase Profitability

Discover how KSK manufacturing enables harness manufacturers to handle complexity with high efficiency and adaptability to follow rapid timelines while prioritizing quality requirements and minimizing excess costs.

The automotive industry faces multiple challenges due to the demand for advanced electronic features, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), autonomous driving, and electrification. These megatrends create the need for highly sophisticated automotive electric and electronic (E/E) systems, emphasizing the importance of wire harness manufacturing. A significant challenge for automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and harness manufacturers is managing complex wire harnesses from design and manufacturing to delivery.

In this white paper, discover one of the most desired solutions to this pressing issue: the Kundenspezifischer Kabelsatz (KSK) concept.

Support any number of wiring harness variants

KSK methods can adapt to fit the specific needs and conditions of the vehicle program that it will support. Using integrated software, engineers can create a digital thread from vehicle definition to manufacturing planning and execution. They can pull complete and up-to-date information on required assembly tasks to allocate resources and plan production. Any changes they make will automatically update tasks with the correct workstation assignments. Using the updated information, engineers can generate workstation-specific instructions for the manufacturing floor. Although complex, KSK flexibility and organized planning enable production methods to support any number of harness variants.
