On the Move: A Siemens Automotive Podcast

Smart Manufacturing in the Automotive Industry


Listen Later

Very few industries have experienced more changes than the automotive industry has in the last three decades.


The industry has evolved to integrate with new technologies as well as to meet stricter sustainability goals. Without a change in how automakers designed and built their cars, these changes would have put them out of business. One of the factors that have enabled them to remain profitable is the adoption of smart manufacturing.


The use of data generated by high-tech equipment on the production line has enabled the creation of very efficient automotive factories. This has allowed the automotive companies that have embraced this approach to remain profitable.


In the episode, Conor Peick is joined by a guest from Siemens Digital Industries Software - Nand Kochhar, VP of Automotive and Transportation Industrie. He’ll help us understand how automotive companies are approaching the shift from traditional manufacturing to smart manufacturing. He’ll also share with us the benefits of doing virtual commissioning of a production line before the physical commissioning.
