Siemens Examines Factory Automation and Virtual Manufacturing in the Automotive Industry

As a result of past achievements, some automakers trust that their current manufacturing processes, technology, and equipment will continue to lead them to success. Perceived to be costly, time-consuming, disruptive, and risky, the switch to intelligent manufacturing is not a step these companies have been willing to take yet. However, to stay relevant in this fast-changing market, automakers must revisit how they approach all aspects of product design, development, and manufacturing.

In this white paper from Siemens titled, "Bring the future into the factory with intelligent automation and virtual manufacturing," you'll discover smart manufacturing solutions that enable: 

• An intelligent production environment through data analytics, connectivity, and integrated simulations
• Rapid factory automation to modernize legacy equipment faster
• Assessment of situations in real-time to ensure that output targets are achieved
• Better real-time decisions with intelligent operations excellence
• Cost savings and flexibility with the virtual development of manufacturing
