Lifft Group: Manufacturing Trucks Using IIOT and Factory Automation

The Lifft Group's IIoT-powered manufacturing process is a unique approach to building trucks that meet the stringent General Safety Regulation 2 (GSR2) standards. The system is designed to seamlessly integrate advanced technology into the vehicle production line, ensuring every truck is built with precision and compliance.

One of the primary functions of this manufacturing process is to guarantee that safety features mandated by GSR2 are flawlessly integrated and calibrated. It aims to ensure that systems like Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) and Advanced Emergency Braking Systems (AEBS) are not just present but are working perfectly, addressing the critical need for improved road safety. It's often common for these systems to be a simple add-on, but with the Lifft Group's IIoT approach, they are an integral part of the vehicle from the ground up.


The system typically utilises a multi-layered structure of technology. This includes a network of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) sensors that monitor every stage of assembly, factory automation to perform repetitive, high-precision tasks and a centralised data analytics platform that tracks and verifies compliance in real time. This integrated system is inspired by the kind of quality control and precision seen in aerospace manufacturing.

The process's compatibility with various truck models, including those with different chassis sizes or engine types, makes it a truly special technology in the truck manufacturing industry. Structural or design alterations to the existing truck platforms are generally not required for the technology's implementation, so it means that they can keep their core specifications without any drastic changes.

Independent testing on test tracks and in simulated environments has shown that the Lifft Group's IIoT system can significantly improve the performance and reliability of GSR2-mandated safety features. It has been shown to reduce the error rate in safety system calibration by up to 90% and improve the overall structural integrity of the build by up to 15%. This leads to reduced warranty claims and a lower risk of component failure, resulting in greater customer confidence and a stronger brand reputation.

The Lifft Group, the company behind this advanced manufacturing process, has received the ISO 26262 certification for functional safety in the provision of automotive electronics, highlighting their commitment to quality and safety. They offer a comprehensive solution for building GSR2-compliant trucks, providing numerous benefits in terms of safety, reliability, and customer satisfaction.
