A single assembly line builds eight series of tractors ranging from 72 hp narrow-track machines to the world's largest standard 518 hp tractor — roughly 19,000 units a year. Rising model complexity and shorter product cycles were straining a conventional fixed-takt line, prompting a programme that combined a connected MES, autonomous material movers, variable takt, virtual build, advanced analytics and a centralized transport platform.
