DESTINATION DIGITAL Accelerating transformation in automotive and transportation.

DATA: THE INNOVATION SUPERHIGHWAY

For automotive and transportation manufacturers, contemporary challenges – reducing environmental impact, supply chain disruption, evolving customer demands – require digital solutions. That’s why:

A robust data strategy provides ways to accelerate innovation and unlock sustainable competitive advantage. How?

Change is coming faster and faster in automotive and transportation. To keep up, manufacturers up and down the supply chain can harness a rich resource already being generated within their organizations and across their ecosystem of partners – data.

A robust data strategy can help you make the most of connected and collaborative ecosystems, to drive innovation, growth, and competitive edge.

How can you make data work for you?

SO,WHATNOW?

Building an ecosystem of partners can help you collaborate across the supply chain, share technology and close the skills gap. The more connected the ecosystem, the more insight you’ll have into new industry developments, customer intent and need, driving more innovation and better production methodologies. 2/3 of executives agree that OEMs will significantly outsource their vehicle production operations to focus on becoming digital companies.6 That represents an opportunity for upstream manufacturers that can easily plug into this new ecosystem.

BUILDING VALUABLE PARTNERSHIPS

Smart factories are becoming a new norm, with automotive companies planning to convert 44% of their factories into SMART FACILITIES OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. – Diginomica9

In the new normal…The basis of competition has moved away from operational efficiency in a given functional area to the OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY OF THE OVERALL VALUE CHAIN. – SupplyChain10

Manufacturers should open up their platform and engage in cooperative ventures. - Deloitte7

Data analytics can deliver huge value in terms of time-to-market and production efficiency in transportation manufacturing. The value of the industry’s big data market – predicted to grow by more than 100% from 2019 to 20258 – reflects this. To power efficient co-development between OEMs and suppliers in this new era of transportation, manufacturing requires a connected ecosystem to share data and information effortlessly. Connected, smart factories will provide predictive maintenance data to manufacturers, offering just-in-time replacement of essential parts, reducing waste and production downtime.

IMPROVING PRODUCTION SPEED AND EFFICIENCY

OEMs and their suppliers need to update their supply chains to focus on diversity, flexibility, visibility, sustainability, and proactive modeling to ensure they manage demand. Throughout the transportation industry, upstream and downstream, better control of data can help companies manage rising production volumes, build local supplier bases, design enhanced supply chains, and increase end-to-end visibility. Transparency is also crucial to meet the increasing demands of global regulators. Digitization is core to these shifts, but it’s the smart application of the resulting data that will ensure your supply chain becomes a source of serious competitive advantage. From tracking demand to linking sales and marketing to production, data is the fuel that powers supply chain optimization.

TRANSFORMING SUPPLY CHAINS

75% OF VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS mention ‘sustainability’ in their filing documents in 2020. – GlobalData11

The increasing demand for eco-friendly vehicles puts pressure on upstream manufacturers to invest in green technologies and alternative materials. Better traceability throughout the supply chain, the lightweighting of materials, and the rise of service-based business models all feed into a more sustainable future. Each of these initiatives has data at its heart – helping you connect stakeholders internally and externally, test new production ideas through digital twins, and build valuable partnerships.

DRIVING SUSTAINABILITY

DEFINE YOUR GOALS Where can data make the most significant impact? What would you like to achieve? Whether it’s just-in-time maintenance or building better partnerships, setting goals first will help define your next steps.

FOCUS ON DIGITAL SKILLS Consider the digital skill sets you’ll need to harness the right data and apply the insights to product development.

Join us for a digital transformation workshop

A digital transformation workshop is a highly interactive session that will introduce you to our Digital Strategy Template and outline the five capabilities critical to driving growth

and profitability.

The workshop is exclusive to your business and does not focus on software products, features, or functionality. It explores how the five capabilities can help you make better products,

sell more, and generate greater profits.

But

Manufacturers and the OEMs they supply are on the same journey, trying to innovate in the face of dramatic change brought about by:

CHANGING CUSTOMER PREFERENCES In automotive, sales of new cars are decreasing as customer preference shifts towards a shared mobility model. An estimated 1/3 of new cars will be shared by 2050.5 Across the whole transportation industry, customers are looking for cleaner, greener vehicles.

INCREASED GLOBAL COMPETITION The world’s biggest tech companies are turning their eyes to transportation, putting pressure on traditional players to innovate.

THE NEED FOR PARTNERSHIPS Looking beyond products and into experiences, manufacturers are diversifying and accelerating partnerships to enable growth.

So how can you deliver the innovation needed to turn these challenges into valuable opportunities?

98% OF LEADING MANUFACTURERS have a smart factory initiative of some form underway.1

94% OF MANUFACTURERS in the transportation industry expect to expand their 3D printing capabilities.2

62% OF COMPANIES have a comprehensive sustainability strategy.3

ONLY

30% OF TRANSPORTATION COMPANIES are confident that they have the right capabilities to respond to today’s trends.4

FREE YOUR INNOVATORS Use intelligent design automation to resolve design problems and let engineers and designers focus on value-added tasks. AUDIT YOUR

PARTNERSHIPS Review supplier relationships, look for critical capabilities, and then invest in greater digital connectivity to strengthen collaboration.

AUTOMATE WITH CARE Be conscious of the need to accelerate automation while considering infrastructure and resource preparedness.
