The Renault plant in Douai: one of the most automated in the world

Topic dedicated to the robotics of the Renault factories in Douai. The robots will soon replace almost all of the workers on the assembly lines where the Renault 5 are manufactured. The Renault company has made this plant one of the most automated in the world. The machines, already able to manage the transport of parts, assembly, welding and painting, have the ability to adapt to the different productions. We are talking about intelligence, since robots adjust their behaviour to their environment. Pierre Pardo, Director of Automation Techniques, details the capabilities of a robotic machine. The journalist filmed the performances of the robots in the control room and commented on them.
