Data-driven automotive production
Igniting the next level with real-time data processing
An important step in maintaining manufacturers' competitiveness and profitability is the integration of real-time data generation and management in all areas of vehicle and parts production. Lucas Majewski, Global Director of Automotive/EV Industry, Factory Automation, at Mitsubishi Electric, explains this in the videocast "Trends in Automotive - Data means Energy".
The automotive industry has always been a driver of innovation for future-oriented manufacturing processes. In order to stay at the forefront, rapid adjustments and adaptations of the latest developments are required. Given the challenges of the market and supply chains, this is urgently needed.
Automotive industry still in a pioneering position
The combined effects of a changing regulatory landscape, evolving customer demands and ongoing supply chain issues are putting conventional automotive manufacturing to the test. However, the industry has proven to be agile and therefore resilient. For example, it is one of the most automated industries and has invested heavily in digital technologies in recent decades. Thanks to this forward-thinking approach and its existing infrastructures, the automotive value chain can benefit from its pioneering position when it comes to strengthening its market position.
Incorporating digital technologies
Automotive manufacturing and assembly, which already has state-of-the-art industrial automation applications such as robotic production lines, can incorporate additional innovative digital technologies. This further improves performance, flexibility and sustainability. Real-time data is key, as Lucas Majewski explains, highlighting its potential to improve almost all aspects of automotive production. The players can benefit from this. They can gain insights into machines and production facilities. This improves their decision-making and allows them to react automatically, for example through predictive maintenance and process optimization.
Real-time data generation and analysis provides companies with insights into energy consumption andcarbon footprint. These insights help to implement measures to reduce electricity costs and emissions. This leads to more efficient and environmentally friendly operations that meet company and customer requirements as well as new regulations.
