MUNICH—The BMW Group is speeding up the shift toward electromobility and strengthening its global production network. As part of the 400 million euro initiative, the automaker is retooling its assembly plants for an electrified future.
MUNICH—BMW AG sees artificial intelligence (AI) as a way to improve productivity and efficiency at its assembly plants. The automaker is using the technology for a variety of quality-related applications, such as error proofing and inspection tasks.
Computer tomography (CT) has traditionally been used in the healthcare field. But, engineers at BMW recently started to use the technology to improve quality. They use it for prototype development, production and analysis, a first in the automotive industry.
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.
Today, the plant where BMW assembles the Mini is celebrating its 100th birthday. The first motor car to emerge from the factory in Oxford, England, on March 28, 1913, was a Bullnose Morris Oxford.
