Body in white [or BIW] {phase, area, section}
I learned that Rohbau for a car was referred to as "body in white" in the USA.
The first paragraph in Wiki below states it pretty clearly.

"shop" sounds like what they are using. See here:

Note from asker:
| Thanks! So how does this sound: "The body-in-white shop, for example, is a prime example of how robots are integrated in modern production plants, ..."? |

: The definition in the Fahrzeugtechnik section in the Rohbau entry in the German Wiki completely corresponds with the Body in white entry in the English Wiki. and the video shows robots operating in a BIW area. Cool!

shell construction (process)/structure work
Hello David,
I checked 8 dictionaries - no results - but Rohbau is "shell construction" or "structure work" - perhaps you can eliminate the "Bereich".

I believe it's a redundancy- and perhaps even a created word. We humans do so love to play with language!
