COLOGNE, Germany – Ford is going to extraordinary lengths to ensure every all-electric Explorer is produced fault free including deploying a new AI system with cameras to check all the electrical connections.

In this fourth in our series of short videos filmed at Cologne EV Center, we visit the final assembly area where Explorer’s body and the Battery-Axle module move along separate lines before they are joined together in a process called “marriage”.

In episode #5, we explore the central nervous system of the plant where real-time data is used to monitor the quantity of parts, keep track of the efficiency of each process, control the workload, and predict maintenance.
