RESULT AND DISCUSSION
The first step in the production process is the fabrication of the subframe.
This process involves shearing and bending machines to shape the main components of the subframe.
Once the main components are formed, they are assembled into the subframe.
This stage involves the use of other machines and the skills of operators to ensure that the elements are positioned correctly and securely assembled.
After the subframe is constructed, the next step is the installation of the subframe into the final product.
This installation process involves using additional tools and equipment, as well as operators' skills, to ensure that the subframe is installed correctly and according to Once the installation is complete, the final step in line 1 is to perform the first quality check (QC.
to ensure that the subframe and its installation meet the specified quality standards.
This involves visual inspection and functional testing to detect and address quality issues.
If the results of the QC1 inspection meet the quality standards, the process proceeds to the BAK assembly stage.
However, if any quality issues are detected, the subframe will be returned to the production process for repair or remanufacturing.
After the BAK assembly process is completed, the steps in line 2 are as follows: the first step is to perform the second quality check (QC.
This inspection aims to ensure that all components have been correctly installed and that no quality issues have been overlooked during the assembly process.
If the product passes the QC2 inspection, the process proceeds to the next step.
However, if any quality issues are detected, the product will be returned to the BAK assembly process for repair.
If the product passes the QC2 inspection, the next step is to mount the BAK onto the chassis or appropriate unit.
This process involves the use of tools and the skills of operators to ensure that the BAK is appropriately installed and meets specifications.
After the BAK is installed, the next step is the body setting process or installation of internal components.
This involves installing essential components inside the body or frame of the product, such as the engine, electrical system, and other elements.

php/juik/index This process requires technical expertise and special tools to ensure all components are installed correctly and meet standards.
After the body setting/IC process is completed, the next step is to perform the second quality check (QC.
The purpose of this inspection is the same as the previous QC2, which is to ensure that all components have been installed correctly and that no quality issues have been overlooked.
If the product passes the second QC2 inspection, the process proceeds to the next step.
However, if any quality issues are detected, the product will be returned to the previous process for repair.
If the product passes the QC2 inspection, the final step is the electrical process or installation of the electrical system.
This involves the installation of cables, switches, control panels, and other electrical components necessary for proper product operation.
This process requires technical expertise in the installation and testing of electrical systems.
After the electrical process is completed, the final step is to perform the last round of the second quality check (QC.
The goal remains the same: to ensure that all electrical components have been installed correctly and that no quality issues have been overlooked.
The production process is complete if the product passes the final QC2 inspection.
However, if any quality issues are detected, the product will be returned to the previous process for repair.
The grinding process is a stage where the product surface is smoothed or polished to achieve the desired level of smoothness.
This can be done using various grinding tools and techniques according to the product's After the grinding process, the product will undergo the third quality check (QC.
The purpose of QC3 is to ensure that the grinding process has been carried out correctly and that no defects or imperfections are visible on the product surface after this process.
If the product passes the QC3 inspection, the next step is the painting process.
Painting is done to provide a protective layer on the product surface and to achieve the desired aesthetic appearance.
This process involves using paint and painting techniques that comply with the product specifications.
After the painting, the product will undergo the third quality check (QC.
stage The goal remains the same: to ensure that the painting process has been carried out correctly and that there are no defects or imperfections visible on the product surface after this process.
If the product passes the second QC3 inspection, then the product is considered ready and complete.
The final step is to label the product as "Unit Ready," which means the product has passed all production stages and quality inspections well and is ready to be shipped or used.
After being labelled as "Unit Ready," the product can be removed from the production line.
According to the production management instructions, the product will then be diverted to temporary storage or shipped directly to customers.
Thus, the above steps depict a series of steps in the production line after the grinding process until the product is ready to be shipped or used, focusing on quality inspection, painting, and final product Each step requires special attention to ensure the final product meets the pre-established quality Figure 1 shows the production layout and component racks prepared for production.

php/juik/index Autodesk Inventor is a suite of software refinements from Autodesk AutoCAD and Autodesk Mechanical Desktop, which share a similar concept in 3D drawing.
Autodesk Inventor is a parametric feature-based solid modeling program, meaning that all objects and relationships between geometry can be modified even after the geometry is completed without starting over from scratch.
This dramatically facilitates designers in the product design process.
To create a solid or surface 3D model, you must first sketch or import a 2D image from Autodesk Autocad.
After completing the drawing or 3D model, you can create working drawings using drawing facilities.
Autodesk Inventor not only stops at displaying working drawings but also provides simulation of product movements and has tools to analyze strength.
These tools are easy to use and can help reduce errors in design.
Thus, the costs that should be incurred for analysis are reduced, and the time to market for the designed object can be accelerated because the designed object is simulated on the computer before entering the production Figure 2 below shows a 3D image of a van monitor created using Autodesk Inventor.

Metalindo Teknik Utama is still using 3D image tools to facilitate product manufacturing to minimize product failures during field implementation but has not yet utilized IIoT to integrate all production devices, resulting in manual monitoring of results.
CONCLUSION
A case study was conducted at PT with a focus on integrating manufacturing technology with design software and using 3D scanning technology in the context of Industry 4.
Metalindo Teknik Utama aimed to obtain practical data on technology integration in production.
The study revealed that technologies such as CAD.
CAM.
IoT, and IIoT have improved production efficiency and responsiveness to market changes in the manufacturing 3D scanning technology also has great potential to enhance product quality and production efficiency in Industry 4.
In the production stages, using design software such as Autodesk Inventor has helped expedite the design process, reduce errors, and enhance the quality of the final products.
Additionally, integrating technology in the production process, such as using automated machines and 3D scanning, has contributed to improving production efficiency and product quality.
Further research is needed to identify the best ways to integrate advanced technology into the production process to achieve greater efficiency and product quality improvements.
