Bringing the future into the factory with efficient production, intelligent automation, and virtual manufacturing development
The automotive industry is being reshaped faster than ever before. Technology advancements are redefining transportation from traditional mechanics to complex sustainable, entertaining, and connected mobility enabled by electronics and software. To stay relevant in this fast-changing market, automakers must revisit how they approach all aspects of product design, development, and manufacturing. With significant investments in research and development for new technologies like vehicle electrification and autonomous driving, some automotive manufacturers have tried to carry on with traditional manufacturing processes and outmoded equipment. When continuing to do so, they will jeopardize their very existence by risking production line disruptions, failed launches, cyberattacks, and penalties for noncompliance to increasingly strict environmental regulations. To succeed, automakers must find the keys to becoming more agile and resilient while accelerating innovation, managing increased complexity, evolving manufacturing facilities to ensure they meet all sustainability and regulatory targets faster than the competition.
