Q5D Collaborates with SMR and Cranfield University on Automotive Mirror Automation
Q5D partners with SMR and Cranfield University to automate wiring for next-gen automotive mirrors under the £4 billion DRIVE35 programme. This initiative aims to enhance manufacturing efficiency and reduce manual processes in mirror production.

Q5D is collaborating with Motherson Group's Samvardhana Motherson Reflectec (SMR) and Cranfield University to develop an automated wiring system for exterior automotive mirrors as part of the UK Government's DRIVE35 programme. The project aims to create a 'Mirror 2.0' concept that integrates automatic wiring harnesses, enhancing manufacturability and efficiency.
Q5D will provide its wiring automation technology while participating in design workshops with SMR to refine the mirror's structure. The project will produce a prototype mirror for functional and environmental testing.
Successful outcomes may lead to follow-on funding for scaling production. Compliance with automotive standards, including USCAR, will be ensured during the design process, leveraging Q5D's expertise in robotic wiring harness production.
