Whilst demand for electric vehicles is accelerating, it is uncertain whether it will be sustained, forcing automakers to build in flexible approaches to their manufacturing strategies. Legacy plants and rigid production lines optimized for traditional models lack the agility to pivot to evolving product mixes, which can lead to missed opportunities and eroding profit margins.

These tightening margins further underscore the need to cut costs and improve efficiency through the intelligent use of I4.0 technologies.

Whilst integrating Industry 4.0 solutions like robotics, AI, and IoT enables this shift towards flexible, demand-driven manufacturing, automakers are finding the fragmented technology stacks and a lack of skilled talent to implement these complex systems effectively as a major factor slowing the pace of adoption and scalability of successful initiatives.

Join auto experts in Detroit to discover how they are aligning organizational structures and processes to enable flexibility to stay ahead of rapidly evolving customer preferences while boosting productivity and profitability across automotive operations.
