The shift marks a fundamental change in how vehicle manufacturers manage automation, quality control and workforce support.<\/p>\n<p>At the German carmaker&#8217;s Neckarsulm facility, robots now grind down weld spatter on car body underbodies after AI-powered cameras identify imperfections and mark them with light. The system eliminates a physically demanding task whilst demonstrating how machine learning can be integrated into high-volume manufacturing. Six additional installations are planned for Audi&#8217;s Ingolstadt site.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"quote quaternary color_mobile_quaternary\" style=\"\">\n            Artificial intelligence is a quantum leap for efficiency in our production.
