Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation's truck assembly line at Kawasaki Plant

By the end of 2019, Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corp. will test a new engine assembly line at its main Kawasaki plant (Nakahara-ku, Kawasaki City) that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to assemble engines to various specifications in a single line. The company currently has separate lines for small and medium/large engines, and will test the efficiency of the new line. In the future, Mitsubishi Fuso will consider introducing the system to vehicle assembly lines that are divided into light-duty and medium-duty trucks. Mitsubishi Fuso is promoting a "multi-directional line layout (multi-directional line)" to improve production efficiency. A multi-directional line is a production system that optimizes operations by using AI to divide unique processes for each specification from the main line when complex processing is required according to regulations or demand in the destination country.
