EXTENSION / AUTOMOTIVE / CHINA PRODUCT DEVELOPMENTS / AUTOMOTIVE / FRANCE LISI – 2021 INTEGRATED REPORT — 51 Electric parking brakes: new capacities in China The LISI AUTOMOTIVE site at Shanghai received several awards for new electric parking brake applications. The technology is fitted to a growing number of vehicles all over the world. A new production line, made up of 8 digitally-controlled machines loaded by robots, has been set up at the site to support the expansion of the market. The workshop has been reorganized to ensure that all of the equipment is online. Objectives: capacity extension Function: manufacture of electric parking parts An industrial demonstrator at Delle LISI AUTOMOTIVE inaugurated at its Delle site (France, Belfort Territory in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté Region) a demonstrator in order to validate the industrial deployment of an innovative fastening process, the LISI µ-Mach- Assembly-Process®. This in situ additive manufacturing process, which combines laser texturing and supersonic cold spraying of metal powder, gives hope of significant reductions in the carbon footprint of the assemblies. This demonstrator and the showroom space dedicated to our innovations on multi-material assemblies make up the LISI AUTOMOTIVE Innovation Lab. Designed with the financial support of BPI France and located in a new 200 m² venue entirely dedicated to research and innovation, it opened its doors in October 2021. (see also page 31, Highlights.)
