Engineering for GA Shop Build

Full-scope engineering, from planning to start-up

United's turn-key automotive engineering services cover every phase of a General Assembly shop build.

PLANNING

Feasibility Studies

Layouts, M&E concept development and factory planning.

PLANNING

Vehicle Assembly Line Planning

Including end-of-line test area planning and test-stand design.

PROCUREMENT

Bid Package & Specification

Development of specifications and bid documentation for suppliers.

DESIGN

M&E Planning & Design Review

Structured design reviews across mechanical & electrical scope.

DESIGN

Simultaneous Engineering

Parallel design workflows to compress project schedules.

LOGISTICS

Logistics Planning

In-plant logistics planning for line-side material supply.

EXECUTION

Plant Start-up Support

On-site commissioning and ramp-up support.

EXECUTION

Relocation

Planning and execution of line and equipment relocation.

TESTING

Test Conception

End-of-line test planning for finished vehicles.

3D virtual layout simulation of an assembly line
Virtual Simulation

3D simulation before a single beam is installed.

Before equipment reaches the shop floor, we validate the design in 3D — reducing installation risk and rework.

  • Full layout design in 3D
  • Interference checks between equipment and structure
  • Easy-to-understand visualization for stakeholder review
