Automotive Industry Solutions, Software, and Technology

Step changes in customer experience, improved efficiency, reduced complexity, lower costs and supply chain robustness are needed in order to boost car sales. In parallel, players in the auto industry must establish new hands-on capabilities and develop new technologies centered on the connected car and on-demand, real-time services. The four MADE trends continue to drive disruption in the automotive industry. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, new shared mobility services were growing rapidly, threatening individual passenger vehicle ownership and hence new car sales volumes. For cars designated for shared mobility, even industry-leading OEMs saw themselves downgraded to mere device manufacturers.

• Power study, emerging markets accounted for 51 percent of the global light-vehicle sales in 2010.
• Deloitte Insights An interview with GM’s Mandi Damman GM’s Mandi Damman speaks about creating environment-friendly autonomous cars and what it means to be a woman in the automotive ecosystem.
• The high cost of failures and repairs – and the impact of asset downtime – are issues that keep everyone awake at night.
• EFI Automotive offers solutions for electrical engines to help drivers and manage the electrical energy in a vehicle.
• Sustainable vehicle design has become a major influencing factor in car production.
• ABB has installed more than 500,000 robots worldwide, supported by the broadest service network and offering in the industry.

To be effective, it is necessary to understand the ecosystem, to understand technological developments and to capture the needs of the market. Thus, we think all solutions upstream and in close collaboration with our customers, everywhere in the world. Synopsys is a leading provider of electronic design automation solutions and services. Automotive connectivity facilitates in-vehicle HMI technologies like virtual personal assistants and AI-based infotainment systems, and turns the vehicle into a key part of the consumer’s digital life.

The problem of shortages, oversupply and excess inventories of semiconductors continues to preoccupy the economy. As consumer demand slows, chipmakers are rebuilding inventories from historic lows. The good news is that falling consumer demand is improving the supply of leading-edge and advanced-node semiconductors. The bad news is that this is not improving the low supply of legacy chips, which are most important to industrial companies. Whether your customers are going for their first test drive, getting their new car delivered, or coming in for a service, you can make every experience matter.

Machine control is used to accurately position construction equipment based on design models with GPS technology. See how Hexagon’s automotive industry solutions decrease wasteful movement of material, avoiding unplanned rework and allowing even inexperienced operators to perform work faster and more efficiently. For automotive manufacturers, monitoring, securing and protecting production facilities presents many complex many complex challenges.

Paintshop operations consume especially large amounts of water, because equipment running on water-based products must also be cleaned with water. “The second challenge for global automotive industry is disruption of technology, for example autonomous vehicle or self-driving vehicle, and online taxi application including Gojek and Grab. With the existing of autonomous cars, we might have to redefine a car,” the President said. As the design complexity increases at the lower process nodes, we are resolved to support our customers’ needs with innovative technologies for advanced chip designs.

Benefits range from shorter emergency braking distances to an increased electric range. The term x-by-wire denotes the absence of a mechanical connection between the driver and the steering wheel, brake and other systems. ZF has the most comprehensive portfolio of these systems in the industry. Equipped with ZF self-locking differential and steering system, the fastest German volume production car of its time became a collector’s item.
