Avoid loss of reputation, competitive position, and business with a smart manufacturing approach
The modern manufacturing environment is under an escalating number of regulatory mandates and requirements. At the same time, traditional processes cannot adapt quickly to meet new demands and business requirements of the next generation of automotive products. Any unforeseen breakdowns result in late deliveries, cost overruns due to containment, and failure to meet financial metrics. Overall, traditional automotive manufacturing processes are rapidly falling behind, leading companies to lose reputation, competitive position, and even business. To attain highly efficient production and implement advancements in manufacturing, automotive companies need to embrace revolutionary technologies with a smart manufacturing approach.
Optimize production processes and provide prescriptive insights for improvement with smart manufacturing
Smart manufacturing is about productivity gain at its core: meeting delivery targets and business metrics by creating an intelligent production environment through connectivity, visualization, and data analytics. It enables the ability to plan and organize virtually, reducing the traditional design, build, test, and break manufacturing ramp-up. And its automated closed-loop feedback process provides a self-learning and correcting environment that can quickly react to current situations and address large-scale design and development issues using smart logistics and real-time data collection. Automotive companies that adopt a smart manufacturing approach can modernize existing capabilities for improvement and benefit now while preparing for the innovations of tomorrow.
Smart manufacturing merges the virtual and the physical world using a comprehensive digital twin
The key functional element of smart manufacturing is to bring the virtual and physical worlds of the manufacturing environment together into a highly automated and intelligent physical operating environment. Siemens smart manufacturing solution drives data integration with deep domain know-how for automotive, enabling unique end-to-end digitalization to establish the closed-loop manufacturing process that provides the main functionality for intelligent operations. With a comprehensive digital twin and a data backbone, automotive companies can modernize legacy equipment faster, make better decisions based on real-time insight, and experience the cost-saving benefits of virtual commissioning.
