The customer’s challenge
The manufacturer of the charging stations had outsourced the production of the individual parts to a Chinese supplier. In order not to jeopardize the launch during final assembly at the factory, the individual parts were to be checked upon arrival at the port. A number of the individual parts, some of which weighed several tons, had already been stored at the logistics service provider (LDL).
Staff with different qualifications were required to inspect and rework batteries / inverters / high-voltage circuit boards / coolant lines / surfaces and other components.
The demands on the quality service provider were high: skilled personnel with experience in the field of high-voltage, fault analysis/assessment and rework, a lot of flexibility and professional coordination between the Chinese supplier, the logistics service provider and the manufacturer of the charging stations.
