1. Supply Chain Digitalization

For automakers, who deal with a diverse product range and thousands of components per product, inventory control is a complex but vital waste-reduction measure. A digital supply chain that affords visibility into the entire process from material sourcing to shipping is the solution.

A digital supply chain connects suppliers, manufacturers, and dealers on a single, transparent platform. This connected ecosystem facilitates real-time information exchange and supply chain operations monitoring. It captures changing customer demand more accurately resulting in more effective inventory and logistics management.

A host of technologies go into the making of a digital supply chain. Machine learning-enabled demand forecasting assists with accurate inventory planning. Real-time location tracking systems (RTLS) automate component / vehicle movement tracking while RFID prevents costly mix-ups. Product Information Management (PIM) systems centralize product data for marketing.

2. Smart Factory and Intelligent Operations

A smart factory enabled by cyber-physical systems generates comprehensive and granular data on machine health and factory performance, allowing operators and engineers to fix inefficiencies in real time. Apart from timely troubleshooting and production control, this data enables real-time monitoring of KPIs for better decision-making.

In a smart factory, machine maintenance is not reactive but predictive. Predictive maintenance solutions alert engineers of an impending machine failure based on patterns learned from historical machine data. Operators can anticipate downtime and optimize maintenance tasks, minimizing disruption to operations.

Smart manufacturing technologies infuse automobile production with mass customization capabilities, seen as crucial to competitive success today. They give customers the choice to decide what kind of product they want. In a smart factory, production pipelines are easily reconfigured to align with different customer specifications.

3. Connected Vehicles

Connected vehicles that communicate with external infrastructure are already a reality (satnav and telematics, for example). With the arrival of 5G, the field is ripe for more groundbreaking developments. A new era in road safety and transportation is also envisioned through new vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication protocols.

Networked cars take safety and comfort to the next level with slick driver assistance systems that support driver fatigue detection, emergency braking, remote diagnostics, adaptive distance and speed control, parking assistance, infotainment, etc. They fare better in terms of fuel efficiency too by virtue of preventive maintenance and intelligent route optimization.

The connected vehicles paradigm is a convergence of various technologies: Bluetooth and WiFi that provide bi-directional communication with mobile devices, neighboring vehicles, and infrastructure. Cloud computing, GPS, IoT, and machine learning technologies provide actionable insights from fast streaming data.

4. Autonomous Vehicles

The interest kindled by Waymo’s autonomous cars has since grown into an industrial obsession. Different levels of automation are being piloted and implemented by leading automakers, a prime example being Tesla’s autopilot. Self-driving vehicles are not primarily about cars. There are many other areas where autonomous vehicle technologies are making an impact.

Industrial autonomous vehicles are already in action in agriculture, warehouses, mines, etc. Tractors fitted with GPS devices are mowing fields day in and day out. Harvesters, seeders, and fertilizer applicators are being converted to autonomous vehicles. Vehicles with automated storage and retrieval systems have taken over laborious stacking and shifting tasks in large warehouses.

Advances in machine learning, sensor technologies such as LIDAR, and computer vision are spurring innovation in this sector. With electric vehicles coming into the mainstream, some level of intelligent self-driving will soon become part of all vehicles.

5. Mobility as a Service

Rapid urbanization and the rising traffic call into question the feasibility of having more vehicles on the road. Parking challenges, gridlocks, and concerns about carbon emissions are compelling governments worldwide to explore more sustainable and multimodal transport, better known as mobility as a service (MaaS).

The mobility-as-a-service model was pioneered not by automobile firms, but by tech startups. The radical nature of innovation is now directing automakers to collaborate with tech companies to come up with game-changing services—a nod to the fact that the future is not in vehicle sales but innovative services, whether it is ridesharing or rental.

A variety of services around mobility and transportation, in the form of adaptive transport networks and frictionless commuting, are moving beyond the nascent stage. Applications in this segment offer travel options based on user preferences, route planning and optimization services, trip pre-booking combining public and private transport, on-demand routes, etc.

6. Sales and After-Sales

Intense competition, heightened customer expectations, and the risk of being upstaged by MaaS have raised the pressure on automakers to go the extra mile to win customer loyalty. This means more involvement by automakers in the aftermarket and concerted nurturing of customer relations by all players across the aftermarket value chain.

Integral to a strong customer relationship is a connected and tailored customer experience. To provide this, automakers require a 360° view of customers, which requires consolidating data from CRM, online interactions, and sensors. And services must be accessible through digital channels (with car dealer chatbots ensuring 24x7 assistance) for the customer experience to be truly superior.

A slew of services and capabilities will define after-sales of the future: predictive maintenance to prevent breakdowns; real-time alerts to service centers in case of breakdowns, spotlighting the problem and the location of the vehicle; better diagnostic software; quick access to technical manuals and vehicle-related documents for fast service turnaround.

Sample Applications

  • Vibration analysis and other diagnostics applications
  • Tire inspection systems to check the integrity of tires
  • Location-based information for charging stations, service centers, etc.
  • Live location tracking of cars and large fleets
  • Insurance and legal case management
  • Interactive technical manuals
  • Tracking of warranty and service transactions
  • KPI and other reporting solutions for management
  • App-based mobility services, and many more
