Driverless vehicle production - accelerating transformation towards digital operations
Operating a vehicle production facility efficiently is a significant challenge in the modern manufacturing landscape. Thousands of parts must be delivered to the assembly line, precisely timed for just-in-time use in vehicle assembly.
While planning and parts logistics within the plant have been optimized and digitized over the years, there remains a considerable inefficiency. Numerous drivers navigate the facility, searching for and moving semi-finished and finished vehicles to subsequent production lines, test stations, or designated parking areas for transport by truck, train, or ship. These operations introduce costs due to damages, waiting times, walking distances, and the need for space, highlighting that today’s vehicle production logistics are far from peak efficiency.
The current driver shortage and lack of necessary qualifications further slow down the crucial transformation toward all-electric and, eventually, partially autonomous vehicles.
