Body-Shop Line Relocation Under Running Production

Project Overview

An automotive supplier needed to relocate a robotic body-shop line within a plant that could not stop producing. KLOSE dismantled, packed, transported and reinstalled the line in carefully sequenced phases that worked around live production and heavy on-site logistics traffic.

The project included full mechanical and electrical reinstatement and support through recommissioning, returning the line to the customer ready for production restart.

Project Challenges

• Relocating heavy automation while neighbouring lines kept running meant tight coordination with the customer's production schedule, constant management of shared traffic routes, and zero tolerance for disruption to live output.

The Klose Advantage

• KLOSE's phased relocation method and experienced project management kept the surrounding plant producing throughout. In-house dismantling, transport and reinstatement crews ensured precise reassembly and a smooth, on-schedule restart.

Outcome

Line relocated and recommissioned with virtually no downtime to surrounding production
