Rivian initiated R2 validation builds in Normal, Illinois on a digitally orchestrated assembly line using automated body-shop processes, AI-enabled robots, vision inspection, and lineside wireless diagnostics.

Tightens the coupling between inspection results and line controls, with lineside wireless diagnostics resolving issues in real time and containing defects upstream before they propagate through assembly.
