Frontier has been built at Nissan Canton since 2012, with its engine produced at Nissan Decherd Powertrain Plant in Decherd, Tenn.
"Nissan's decision to build the 2022 Frontier in Mississippi is a testament to our successful partnership and my administration's commitment to increasing high-tech, advanced manufacturing job opportunities for Mississippians," said Governor Tate Reeves. "I'm proud that the 2022 Frontier rolling off the assembly line and onto American roads will be synonymous with Mississippi. Mississippi continues to be at the forefront of innovation and new technology and is quickly becoming a sought-after hub for the automotive industry."
Collaborative Robot Tech
Nissan has deployed enhanced applications of collaborative robot (or cobot) technology to assemble the all-new Frontier. These robots effectively support process factory automation, resulting in improved safety performance and less strain on workers. The technology is being used to assist with a number of jobs to ensure repetitive tasks are done the same way every time, increasing overall operational efficiency and vehicle quality for customers.
"Before integrating more cobot technology into our process, workers were tied to their stations, reducing valuable time that could be used to work directly on the vehicle," said Orlando Valree, director, production engineering and new model quality, Nissan Canton Vehicle Assembly Plant. "Human touch in the manufacturing process remains a critical component of high-quality output, and this technology helps us achieve that."
