Frequently Asked Questions

How does AIS VIG Industrial support the transition to electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing?

AIS VIG Industrial provides specialised industrial relocation services to help automotive manufacturers reconfigure facilities for EV production. We manage the installation of new battery assembly lines and the relocation of robotic systems, ensuring all mechanical and electrical (M&E) components are integrated safely to meet the evolving demands of the electric vehicle market.

Yes. Our engineers are experts in the precision dismantling and reinstallation of complex automotive machinery, including robotic welding arms, paint shop systems, and high-precision CNC centres. We use advanced metrology and levelling techniques to ensure every asset is perfectly aligned to original specifications, maintaining the tight tolerances required for automotive component manufacturing.

We ensure operational continuity by deploying innovative, non-intrusive engineering solutions that allow us to execute complex relocations alongside live production environments. As the Principal Contractor, we implement rigorous segregation protocols and utilise our wholly owned, low-emission fleet to work safely within active facilities without compromising hygiene, safety, or output. This strategic approach, combined with precision turnkey planning, enables us to conduct essential works during narrow production windows or concurrent with normal operations, ensuring your facility remains functional and keeping downtime to an absolute minimum.
