How will you drive additional growth and performance this year?

Experience the future of automotive manufacturing

The automotive industry is facing unprecedented levels of uncertainty. You are challenged to grow profits, increase market share, and build customer loyalty in the face of slowing demand and while investing in new technologies like electrification and autonomous vehicles.  

Explore this demo to see examples of how GE software can help.

Slow down automotive challenges

Improve inefficiencies

With uncertain growth expected across the automotive industry, manufacturers need to focus on efficiency and automation. By breaking down information and data silos, automotive manufacturers can tap into previously unused or underutilized data, speed operations, and produce vehicles and parts faster and with greater precision.

Optimize production and quality

With a lack of real-time information—from the plant floor to C-suite—it can be difficult to see critical information in time to accommodate market shifts or customer demands. By implementing effective digital industrial applications, personnel can gain deep visibility in complex work processes—enabling more data-driven insights, tighter control of production quality, staffing, and predictive maintenance scheduling.

Reduce unplanned downtime

Tracking the performance and health of equipment optimizes maintenance, in turn, making these assets more reliable and available for use. By keeping equipment and production lines up and running, auto manufacturers will see better end production and reliability.

Enhancing EV Battery Production

Hear from OEM and manufacturing software leaders as they discuss methods to efficiently and safely increase EV battery production to meet demand. Key takeaways include:

 

  • Reduce process variation and optimize process performance, while managing production complexity for end-to-end traceability
  • Achieve faster time to market & on-time delivery, increased compliance & quality consistency throughout
  • Support sustainability - recirculate and regenerate resources by design to eliminate the concept of “waste” entirely

Overcome production limitations & meet customer demand

Battery process

Battery Manufacturing

Is your battery manufacturing process inefficient with limited capabilities to scale?  Are you struggling to meet the traceability requirements for all battery manufacturing? 

 

Without question, the battery manufacturing process is complicated.  But did you know that you can get end-to-end production data and visibility for each battery pack with a single MES solution?

 

GE Digital can support your diverse battery production process in one manufacturing platform, decreasing your OT costs and maintenance, and giving you a foundation for operations optimization.

Testimonials

I would totally recommend the software other companies. This software has really made its accountable as far as the maintenance department of our equipment is working this way. It shows the data we need. The software helps us by tracking the vehicle. They’re able to type in the vehicle number and know exactly where that is in the plant.

Having reliable software systems to control our output is very important. We made our first implementation of this technology in China. Then we brought the technology to Sweden, used the learnings from implementing MES in our China plant and challenged ourselves to improve how we work, prioritize and bring the solutions to production. This has really been successful and the team from GE Digital have been with us at every step of this journey – we took one step together, saw the results, then took another step. It is an interesting journey – and it is far from finished!

We deepened our relationship with one of Europe’s largest automotive OEMs, Volvo, where we provide manufacturing execution systems at their flagship engine plant in Sweden.
