Engine of the future

From OEM to MDL and beyond - the automotive industry has already experienced and overcome many cuts through automation, globalization, modularization, customer orientation programs, rationalization and many other hurdles. With new topics such as electromobility, environmentally friendly drive concepts, AI in cars and modern technologies, it is still important to find innovative solutions in this industry. The automotive industry is therefore experiencing the greatest change in a long time. So that mobility companies can concentrate fully on this change, we support them with reliable and innovative software consulting.

AI in the automotive industry

Whether in the value chain or in vehicle technology itself – the use of artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly relevant and almost unavoidable.
AI in the value chain can, among other things, bring about significant cost reductions and a strong improvement in operational processes.
Artificial intelligence in the automobile itself can be found in driver assistance systems, the networking of vehicles and traffic objects and in autonomous driving.

Blockchain für die Automobilindustrie

Blockchain provides the technical basis for effective solutions in many areas.
Digital vehicle passports, logbooks, raw material sources, smart car sharing or charging of electric cars – blockchain also represents a technology with great potential in the automotive industry.
Last but not least, it can also be used in the supply chain and lead to tamper-proof supply chains.
Either way: If you are not using the blockchain yet, you should definitely start doing so.

From OEM to mobility service provider

It is clear that the automotive industry is undergoing change. New technologies are becoming marketable. In addition, the role of the automobile in society is changing. This is creating new business areas - especially in the urban mobility landscape.
Automobile manufacturers are increasingly becoming mobility service providers – and are thus taking advantage of the great opportunities of the future to maintain their competitiveness in changing structures.

Traceability of components

New approaches such as blockchain are needed for secure and reliable component tracking.
The Supply Chain Act also sets out clear requirements for corporate due diligence obligations for the first time – manufacturers thus assume responsibility for the entire supply chain.
In addition to the advantages of quality assurance, batch management, control, monitoring and optimization of production, this aspect also represents a further step towards Industry 4.0.

Machine-supported production connection

Key tasks in personnel deployment planning, resource planning, capacity planning and order scheduling.
Integration of production into the IT landscape, connection of the MES to the higher-level ERP system as well as extensive and individual adaptations of the standard solutions.
Collection of real-time machine data for precise analysis, planning of production processes in detail, real-time monitoring and consistent optimization.

Production planning

Long-, medium- and short-term planning to clarify market segments and products, planning of product groups and finally the quantity to be produced in production program planning.
MRP as a way to calculate the exact requirements based on a variety of parameters and then procure them.
Production process planning with batch size planning, scheduling and capacity planning as well as detailed scheduling.

JIT/JIS delivery concepts

Through JIT/JIS, material is only delivered when it is actually needed to fulfill orders – and then in the right quantity, at the right time.
There is great potential in cost savings, as storage costs can be drastically reduced. But more flexible assembly, the elimination of incoming goods inspections and the reduction of processing times also represent advantages that should not be ignored.
In order to respond even better to individual customer requests and to emerge as a winner in the competition, it is important to address the issue at an early stage.

Production connection

Maximum process transparency through manufacturing integration systems (e.g. SAP MII) and connected labeling systems.
Visualization of current process parameters, role-based representation of key performance indicators, online recording and evaluation of process-relevant parameters, decentralized order management and detailed order planning.
Optimum efficiency increase, maximum system availability and excellent quality.

Production control

Initiating, monitoring and ensuring the execution of approved orders.
The roughly scheduled orders received from production planning are scheduled in detail – with order creation according to appropriate procedures and order release, controlled by deadline, inventory, workload or bottleneck.
Real-time feedback on the current status of production via BDE or MES.
In case of deviations in quantity, dates or time, precautionary measures will be taken.

Our expertise in the automotive sector

In the automotive industry, we advise the entire supply network, from suppliers to producers – and address all aspects of the supply chain and the needs of the individual links.

OEM´s

For original equipment manufacturers, current challenges lie in autonomous driving, sustainable drive options, urbanization of society, innovative materials for lightweight construction and the new opportunities offered by intelligent products.
Take advantage of these opportunities to stay at the forefront in the future.
