MUNICH--The BMW Group is increasingly relying on advanced technology to streamline logistics and material handling in its assembly plants.

Building a car generates massive amounts of data throughout the value chain. The BMW Group uses its Smart Data Analytics digitalization cluster to analyze this data selectively and enhance its production system. Results from intelligent data analysis make an effective contribution towards improving quality in all areas of production and logistics.
