The Russian company UAZ launched a robotic door crimping system (a method of mechanical connection of internal and external panels of installed details - notes from the editor www1.ru), and also installed PVC coating on the main conveyor belt of the plant. 

As explained by the company, the technology of door crimping will improve the productivity of this assembly line section, eliminating the release of defective parts. At UAZ, they expect that modernization will affect the quality of manufactured cars, including UAZ-450, better known as 'loaf'.

It is noted that the plant's employees implemented the robotic system on their own. In particular, at the end of 2022, tooling, the pneumatic system for fixing parts were manufactured. Additionally, the UAZ industrial electronics department developed software for parts processing.

It was previously reported that UAZ will release a limited batch of 'loaves'. The special version of the UAZ-450 will be more comfortable and safe. It is planned to introduce a seat heating system and provide differential lock function (for improving wheel grip when off-roading).
