Product architecture
Application, operating environment, service model, and market requirements are resolved before the product is released.
Start a projectPRODUCT ENGINEERING
Engineering connected to manufacturing.
KJC develops automotive service equipment as complete products. Mechanical design, electronics, embedded control, measurement, software, verification, and production release remain part of one engineering program.
ENGINEERING DISCIPLINES
The product is developed across connected technical disciplines.
Responsibility is organized around the complete equipment system, not a collection of independently sourced features.
Mechanical & industrial design
Structures, enclosures, controls, access, and serviceable assemblies are developed for workshop use and repeatable production.
Electronics & embedded systems
Sensors, control electronics, communications, and power are integrated into a maintainable product architecture.
Measurement & computer vision
Imaging, targets, sensing, and measurement processing are developed around the intended equipment workflow.
Software
Operating interfaces, guided procedures, data, reporting, and partner configurations are developed with the hardware.
Industrialization
Released drawings, bills of materials, software configurations, work instructions, and inspection criteria prepare the product for production.
MEASUREMENT CONFORMANCE
Accuracy is a requirement, not a marketing adjective.
KJC defines and verifies alignment-system performance against the applicable international measurement standard for the approved product configuration. The controlled specification records the standard, test conditions, tolerances, and release result.
SYSTEM OWNERSHIP
Developed from first principles.
The alignment system is not reverse-engineered from another manufacturer's product. Within its German hardware-development program, KJC develops the product architecture and the technical layers that make it work.
- Camera system
- Camera hardware, optics, mechanical integration, and image acquisition are developed as part of the aligner architecture.
- PCB design
- Purpose-designed circuit boards connect sensing, control, power, and communications within a controlled product design.
- Embedded firmware
- KJC-developed firmware controls the equipment functions and the exchange of data between hardware and operating software.
- System integration
- Mechanical assemblies, electronics, firmware, measurement processing, and SureAlign are verified as one released system.
DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
From requirement to controlled release.
Engineering decisions are carried into prototype work, verification, manufacturing information, and lifecycle support.
- 01Requirement
Define the user, application, environment, commercial position, and partner scope.
- 02System definition
Resolve the mechanical, electronic, software, production, and service interfaces.
- 03Prototype
Evaluate operation, integration, assembly, usability, and service access.
- 04Verification
Check the product against the approved functional and production criteria.
- 05Release
Bring product records, software, assembly instructions, and inspection requirements under control.
- 06Production feedback
Return manufacturing and field observations to the responsible product team.
ENGINEERED TO BE BUILT
Release information must work on the factory floor.
Product records define the approved hardware, software, assembly sequence, inspection points, supplied scope, and partner treatment. Production feedback returns to the same product organization.
