Automotive

The automotive industry always set standards for automation technology. A wide variety of requirements in a wide range of production sectors including the press shop, body shop, paint, engine/transmission, and final assembly must be met, as well as in regards to the supplier. Also test benches, production documentation, and asset tracking are important aspects..

There are a lot of different production and assembly processes in the automotive industry, which can extensively be implemented with the available software components. Here, with an example of a car body information system, only an aspect of the automotive manufacturing should be illuminated.
