Accelerating Production Manufacturing Execution System software solutions for Automotive manufacturers
Addressing the issues The automotive landscape is changing. Emerging markets require manufacturers to rethink production strategies. Changing customer expectations demand the production of more vehicles in more variations than ever before – together with frequent design refreshes. At the same time, increasingly stringent fuelefficiency regulations, the effects of a global economy, intense competition and tightening profit margins create additional pressures.
Changing Customer Expectations
Automotive manufacturers need to increase their manufacturing velocity, to keep pace with market demands.

Rockwell Software AutoSuite
AutoSuite enables you to integrate your control and business systems across your enterprise and turn production data into actionable information. This scalable solution, when combined with library-based content, offers personalization options that promote faster user adoption and time-to-value. Rockwell Automation MES solutions help you synchronize manufacturing tasks, quality procedures and inventory movements throughout production. For the automotive industry, integrating plant-floor production and ERP systems, AutoSuite™ allows manufacturers to share data and manage key quality issues from the design system through to dealership service maintenance.
Real-time information gathered throughout a vehicle’s lifetime provides timely visibility of operational performance issues – from equipment downtime to scheduling, and workload balance to operator training – to drive more efficient production and higher quality manufacturing. The system can also be used to establish a digital genealogy for each vehicle, then track and trace it through the production process and supply chain. As a result, potential quality, safety and customer satisfaction issues can be accurately pinpointed, thoroughly investigated and quickly rectified.
