The challenges of manufacturing

The surge in EVs and advanced features like ADAS create a complex manufacturing environment for automakers.

Integrating EVs alongside traditional vehicles requires significant adjustments. Production lines must adapt to handle new components, heavier vehicles, and intricate processes for powertrains, batteries, and software.

This complexity multiplies with the rise of vehicle customization, making it crucial to adopt flexible smart manufacturing solutions to handle various configurations on a single line while maintaining quality and timely delivery.

Overcome production challenges for EVs with collaborative engineering and smart automation

Integrating EVs into existing production lines alongside traditional vehicles demands a new approach.

Collaborative engineering integrates product design and process development, allowing manufacturers to plan, optimize, and validate EV production concurrently. Smart automation with standardized components and technologies like the digital twin empowers manufacturers to adapt existing facilities for EVs, avoiding the high cost of building entirely new plants.

By leveraging data and fostering collaboration, you can streamline EV production and establish yourself as a leader in the future of mobility.

Leverage the power of the digital twin for seamless EV production

The complexities of integrating EVs into existing production lines can be overcome with the power of Industry 4.0 technologies like the digital twin. This virtual replica of your entire production process, powered by smart manufacturing and cloud-based solutions, allows you to simulate EV assembly and identify potential bottlenecks before they impact real-world production.

By analyzing data and incorporating machine learning, the digital twin predicts performance, energy usage and efficiency, helping you optimize your EV production line for seamless operation.
