Problem
Manufacturing of wiring harnesses in automotive, aerospace, industrial and consumer electronics remains largely manual, leading to high labor costs, error‑prone assemblies, heavy inventory, and supply‑chain fragility.
Solution
Q5D provides 5‑axis robotic platforms that automatically assemble complete wiring harnesses directly from CAD data. The robots integrate interchangeable tooling for wire placement, termination, adhesive application and laser‑based metallisation, enabling high‑speed, large‑format production without dedicated harness inventory. A digital twin and CAM workflow generate precise motion code, while an integrated HMI simulates and validates each job before execution. The system delivers up to tenfold productivity gains, reduces wiring weight and cost, and improves consistency and quality across high‑volume and low‑volume runs. Q5D also offers a Hardware‑as‑a‑Service (HaaS) model that bundles the robot, software, and support for a monthly fee, allowing customers to adopt automation without upfront capital expenditure.
Target Audience
Primary customers are automotive OEMs and Tier‑1 suppliers, as well as aerospace, industrial and consumer‑electronics manufacturers that require high‑volume or complex wiring harness production.
