Accelerated time-to-market |
With a demand for more aggressive timelines, autonomous vehicles and more frequent updates, the auto industry is undergoing unprecedented change. Indeed, this isn’t the auto market of old. To stay competitive and meet those changing demands, industry leaders need smarter solutions that inform decision-makers at every stage of the manufacturing process.
When it comes to electric vehicle (EV) production, automotive innovation is changing the game. Equipped with Rockwell Automation solutions, like Connected Enterprise, Codale is here to help you:
Beat Competitors
to Market
Industry leaders are using game-changing automotive innovation, like artificial intelligence and analytics, to streamline production processes. The result? Faster time-to-market that edges out the competition.
Reduce Unplanned
Downtime
There’s no time for pit stops in the auto industry. If critical assets fail, production takes a nosedive. Autonomous technologies are helping the automaker foresee disruption and maintain their most important manufacturing processes.
Grow Through
Flexibility
With EV production taking off, many automakers are poised to scale up their operations. Codale provides flexible solutions across the entire production chain so that manufacturers can put the pedal to the metal.
The production of vehicle safety equipment, likewise, is undergoing a significant evolution.Consumers want faster production, smarter solutions and safer equipment, among other changes.
Indeed, producers are in need of automated, scalable solutions for their rapidly changing industry. Empowered by innovation, Codale is answering the call.
Armed with Rockwell Automation tools, equipment producers can:
| Streamline production: Integrated, full-spectrum analytics are helping manufacturers eliminate inefficiencies across the production line. | Optimize maintenance: With predictive capabilities, producers can forecast maintenance activities before critical assets break down. |
| Accelerate response time: Real-time insight into the entire operation empowers leaders to make faster, smarter decisions. Likewise, equipment producers can more quickly mitigate disruption. | Reduce costs: With optimized maintenance and maximum efficiency, Industry 4.0 solutions are helping producers squeeze the most mileage out of their operational budgets. |

It’s no longer enough for the modern manufacturer to adopt smart technologies — they need to know exactly how to use them, too. That’s where automotive innovation comes into play.
In an information-driven infrastructure, data collection is a high-priority process. Not only is data a valuable performance-improving asset, it’s a major competitive advantage. Those manufacturers who are quick to identify their most relevant insights are also the fastest to reap the benefits.
Rockwell Automation’s FactoryTalk® AutoSuite™ Manufacturing Execution System (MES) uses real-time analytics to translate raw data into actionable insight. This software integrates production and business systems across your enterprise for a comprehensive peek under the hood.
As a result, AutoSuite MES provides:
Complete process visibility
With access to your entire pipeline, you can monitor production for optimal quality assurance. End-to-end visibility means real-time insight into critical performance metrics.
Data-driven decision-making
No more educated guesses — real-time analytics inform leaders to make smarter decisions at every level of the enterprise.
Responsive manufacturing
When inefficiencies are identified, producers set off to eliminate them immediately. If KPIs are in danger of being missed, production can be steered back in the right direction before it’s too late.
In the rapidly evolving auto industry, standards, regulations and demands are always changing. The modern automaker needs the flexibility to keep up with the rate of change — especially when it comes to fuel efficiency and safety.
Powertrains especially stand to benefit from a scalable, information-driven infrastructure. With such a solution, powertrain manufacturing is becoming more adaptable as fuel efficiency benchmarks continue to move. Furthermore, scalability affords automakers the chance to make real-time adjustments that can streamline production and reduce errors.
Thanks to automotive innovation, manufacturers can:
Better still, innovation empowers automakers to customize their press line production. Flexible solutions are helping manufacturers keep up with trends in vehicle customization, while also ensuring the safety of their workforce.
Through advanced analytics, real-time adjustments allow automakers to improve processes and reduce
errors that could put workers in harm’s way. No matter the size or scale, predictive analytics improve maintenance of dangerous machinery to prioritize safety and guarantee functionality.
All in all, the automotive industry is evolving. You need scalable, transformative innovation to stay competitive.
