The lights are on every day at plant floors in the automotive industry, but most are running their machines in digital darkness.
The lack of insight into how machines are performing can cost automotive manufacturers hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars a year.
Leaders in the auto industry are leveraging Industry 4.0 technology to see exactly how their machines are performing, when they are down and why.
Automotive Sector Has Most to Gain from Industry 4.0
Industry 4.0 or IIOT initiatives are most impactful in automotive because it’s a mature industry and the processes are very similar across thousands of factories across the globe.
According to a recent report by Capgemini, plants equipped with the right technology could add up to $160 billion annually to the global auto industry in productivity gains by 2023.
Benefits of a Proof of Concept Approach in Automotive:
More manufacturers are focusing on pilots and proof of concept projects versus a full-scale rollout of Industry 4.0 initiatives. Proof of concepts are designed to gain tangible results quickly, providing quick ROI justification for scaled roll-outs.
Dominik Wee, a partner at McKinsey and Co. has been following industry 4.0 initiatives in auto manufacturing sector. He says the key is not to go from technology forward but from the use case backwards. He says the question always needs to be: What is the business problem we are trying to solve?
