EUDR in automotive: where regulation truly meets the supply chain

The European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) does not relate to vehicle as a complete product. Instead, it focuses on specific components listed in Annex I and their classification. The Regulation applies to wood, rubber, cattle, cocoa, coffee, soy and oil palm, as well as to relevant products manufactured using these commodities. The obligations depend on the actual role of the entity within the supply chain (operator, downstream operator, trader) and on the company’s size.

The Business of Seeing Better - Machine Vision on the Production Line

The automotive industry operates under strict precision requirements, where even minor defects can lead to costly recalls or damage to brand reputation. Ensuring consistent product quality has become a significant challenge. To address these challenges, manufacturing facilities are implementing advanced vision systems, consisting of cameras, sensors, and algorithms capable of detecting defects with greater speed and accuracy than manual inspection. These systems provide continuous quality monitoring in the production process, enabling early identification of deviations from quality standards.
